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
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
m Bare Buffered Fiber
5.2. 250-
m
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
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).
