Leviton FAST-CURE SC Duplex Clip 49886-DSC

Product Information

Specification

The FAST-CURE SC Duplex Clip is likely a component used in fiber optic networking. SC refers to the "Subscriber Connector," "Standard Connector," or "Square Connector," a type of fiber optic connector that is commonly used for its excellent performance, ease of use, and low cost.

About:

The term "FAST-CURE" suggests that the clip might be associated with a quick field termination or splicing of fiber optics, meaning it could be used to connect or fix fiber optic cables more rapidly than traditional methods. The clip component itself would be used to securely hold the SC connectors in place once they are connected or terminated.

Common Applications:

• Data Centers: In data centers, where a large number of fiber connections are present, the FAST-CURE SC Duplex Clip can be used for rapid repairs or changes, minimizing downtime.

• Telecommunications: Telecom companies use SC clips when they need to quickly deploy or repair connections in their networks, including both backbone and last-mile installations.

• Local Area Networks (LANs): In office buildings and campuses, the FAST-CURE SC Duplex Clip can facilitate quick upgrades, maintenance, or expansion of network infrastructure.

• Broadcast: Media companies might use these clips for fast-paced environments where fiber optics are used to carry high-definition video signals, and quick restoration is crucial in the event of a fault.

• Medical Equipment: Some medical imaging equipment uses fiber optics for data transfer, and the quick-fix capabilities would be beneficial for minimizing equipment downtime.

Features:

• Ease of Use: These clips are designed for quick and easy installation without the need for specialized tools or extensive training.

• Secure Connection: They provide a secure mechanical fixture for SC connectors, ensuring that the connections are less prone to becoming loose or disconnected due to movement or vibration.

• Compatibility: The clip would be compatible with standard SC duplex connectors used in various network environments.

• Durability: Made from materials that can withstand the typical physical conditions encountered in networking environments, such as temperature fluctuations and handling.

• Color Coding: Often these types of components come with color-coding options to help with fiber type identification (e.g., multimode or singlemode) and to manage network organization.

Standards:

TIA/EIA Standards: These are standards set by the Telecommunications Industry Association/Electronic Industries Alliance, which include specifications for fiber optic connector intermateability, optical fiber cabling components, and performance criteria.

IEC Standards: The International Electrotechnical Commission specifies international standards for all electrical, electronic, and related technologies, including fiber optics. For SC connectors and related components, IEC 61754-4 would be relevant.

ISO Standards: The International Organization for Standardization also provides standards for fiber optic connectors, ensuring consistent quality across international borders.

Specification:

• Color : Black
• Type: SC Duplex

Construction:

The materials used are typically resistant to various chemicals and can operate within a wide range of temperatures without deforming or losing mechanical properties. The construction allows for tool-free operation, meaning technicians can install or remove the clips by hand without the need for additional equipment.
