86387-1904 Datasheet, PDF (1/2 Pages) Molex Electronics Ltd. – LC2 Metallic Optical Connectors

FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
Take LC2 where no optical SFF connector has
gone before, in harsh environments
Innovatively designed LC2 connectors are a
ruggedized, all-metal-housed version of the familiar
LC Small Form Factor optical connectors. Molex’s LC2
connectors incorporate the ceramic ferrule based,
LumaCore™ optical terminus technology. The LC2
connector is 100% compatible with the industry
standard LC connectors and adapters. The terminus is
designed to achieve superior optical performance in a
durable housing.
Molex’s LC2 connectors provide a high-performance,
discrete-fiber termination solution for use in equipment
designed for severe environments, including military
COTS, aviation and aerospace applications. The
LC2 connectors are capable of continuous operating
temperatures of 135°C with short term temperatures
of up to 150°C when used with high temperature
optical fibers. Using Molex’s LumaCore technology, LC2
connectors are complimentary to other field proven
LumaCore based products.
The LC2 connector provides a color-coded, anodized-
aluminum housing with a stainless-steel latching
mechanism to ensure optimal LC performance in
harsh mechanical and environmental environments.
In addition, the housings can be removed as needed

without disruption of the terminus tuning or crimped
cable jacketing. When terminated, LC2 connectors
meet a minimum of all the dimensional and
performance requirements of Telcordia GR-326-CORE
and TTIA/EIA-604-10a (FOCIS-10).
