LC Fiber Optic Adapter Zirconia Split Sleeve

Product Information

Specification

About:

An LC fiber optic adapter with a zirconia split sleeve is a connector designed to join two LC fiber optic cables, ensuring precise alignment of the fiber cores. The zirconia split sleeve is a critical component, providing high precision and durability for maintaining the connection's integrity.

Also Known As:

• LC Fiber Coupler
• LC Fiber Optic Connector Adapter
• LC Adapter with Zirconia Sleeve

Common Applications:

• Telecommunications: Used in central offices, data centers, and telecommunications rooms for connecting fiber optic cables.
• Data Centers: Essential in high-density networking environments for managing large volumes of fiber optic connections.
• Networking: Used in enterprise networking for linking different network devices and segments.
• CATV (Cable Television): Employed in cable TV networks for signal distribution.
• Test Equipment: Utilized in fiber optic testing environments to ensure stable connections.

Standards:

• IEC 61754-20: This standard covers the interface specifications for the LC connector family.
• TIA/EIA-604-10: Also known as FOCIS-10, this standard outlines the intermateability of LC connectors and adapters.
