Single-port fiber adapter with SC connector
Connecting Fiber Optic LC Cables
l
Laser type: 850 nanometer wavelength (not visible).
l
SX Cabling:
l
Multi-mode fiber with 50 micron core diameter. Maximum length is 550 meters.
l
Multi-mode fiber with 62.5 micron core diameter. Maximum length is 275 meters
l
Connector type: LC.
"LX" Adapters
Adapters with an "LX" marking on the bracket support the 1000Base-LX connectivity standard. They are
designed for long-haul operation, and have different connectivity requirements:
l
Laser type: 1310 nanometer wavelength (not visible).
l
LX Cabling: single-mode fiber with 9.0 micron core diameter.
l
Maximum length: 10 kilometers.
l
Connector type: LC.
NOTES:
l
Although LX adapters are designed for use with long-haul single-mode fiber, they can also
be used with short-haul multi-mode fiber. Maximum cable length is 550 meters. Must be
connected to compatible LX ports.
l
If needed, an LC-to-SC adapter cable may be used to mate with SC connectors.
