1. General
1.1 LC™ Jumper Connectors
The LC Fiber Optic Simplex and Duplex Jumper Connectors can be used to terminate simplex
and duplex 1.6-mm MiniCord
jumper cords. It is intended for use in Central Offices, Local Area
Networks (LANs), and in patch cords for Premises Distribution Systems such as SYSTIMAX
®
Structured Cabling Systems. The connector can also be used in computer backplane
connections, computer peripheral interconnections, device terminations, and other applications
where quality, small-size, high-density, low-loss, and a low-cost infrastructure are required.
Note: In addition to the simplex and duplex LC jumper connectors for 1.6-mm MiniCord
jumper cords, a Behind-The-Wall (BTW) connector is offered for 0.9-mm buffered fiber.
Installation of the BTW connector is not covered in this customer information product
(CIP). The BTW connector can be used to terminate Outside Plant (OSP) cables as well
as building cables.
When installed on typical fiber, the following performance should be obtained:
Multimode
Insertion loss (avg.) = 0.1 dB
Return loss
≥
30 dB
Singlemode
Insertion loss (avg.) = 0.2 dB
Return loss
≥
50 dB
