The LC connector features a 1.25mm Zirconia ferrule in a small form factor (SFF) fiber optic connector housing with a snag free latch which gives an audible click upon engaging for reliable and high density connections. A range of pigtail, simplex and duplex LC connectors are manufactured including Standard and Low Loss Premium Grades which are suitable for various applications. The LC connectors are available for single mode UPC with white or blue boots, for APC with green boots and for multimode PC with white, red or black boots suitable for 900µm or 3mm cable diameters or with heatshrink and crimp cable retention method for 2mm cable diameters (white and yellow for duplex and yellow for simplex). The LC connector is available in simplex and duplex (with clips) in standard colors including blue (single mode) , green (single mode APC) and beige (multimode).
