New fiber assemblies from TE Connectivity shorten LC connector span


Jun 21, 2011

New multimode and singlemode fiber-optic assemblies from TE Connectivity feature LC connectors that are 35.4 mm in length, according to the company, making the assemblies a literal nice fit in environments where space is tight. TE Connectivity says the 35.4-mm length of the connector is from ferrule-tip to boot-end. The company projects the new fiber assemblies will be used in premises cabling, access and metropolitan networks, computer clusters and other systems.

The cabling boot is constructed with bend-limiting characteristics that enables the assemblies' signal-integrity performance to hold up even under load, claims the company. The connector's ceramic ferrules are 1.25-mm in diameter and the assemblies come with protection caps. They also feature anti-snag latches and are available as simplex or duplex assemblies.
