1. INTRODUCTION

LightCrimp Plus SC simplex fiber optic connector kits

are designed to be applied to fiber optic cable. The

connectors are used with singlemode or multimode

125--

m glass fiber cable. These kits can be used

with any of the following media (paragraph of

assembly procedure is indicated next to media).

5.1. 900-

m Bare Buffered Fiber

5.2. 250-

m Coated Fiber

5.3. 2.5- to 3.0- mm Loose Jacketed Cable

NOTE:

Any jacketed cable used with SC connectors

must allow for the axial movement of the buffered

fiber in the jacket which occurs when the connector is

mated to another connector or device. Certain cable

constructions do not allow axial movement and are

not suitable for use with SC connectors. Refer to

Inspection Specification 129--1496 for a method of

determining whether a given cable construction allows

axial movement (result of the buffer pull test).

5.4. 900-

m Easy Strip or Semi- Tight Buffered Fiber

Read these instructions thoroughly before assembling

the connector kits.

All numerical values in this instruction sheet are

in metric units. Dimensions are in millimeters.

Figures are for reference only and are not drawn

to scale.

Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are

provided in Section 6, REVISION SUMMARY.

2. DESCRIPTION

(See Figure 1)

Each connector kit consists of a connector housing,

connector assembly, strain relief, inner eyelet, crimp

eyelet, and clear tubing. Each kit is also supplied with

a bare buffer boot and small tubing to compensate for

small diameter cable. Also included, assembled onto

the connector, are a termination cover for the ferrule

(front of connector) and a plunger dust cap for the

plunger (rear of connector).
