LC2 Metallic Optical Connectors FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS 86387 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, anodizedaluminum 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). n Removable connector housing enables direct inspection of fiber bonding areas and replacement of connector body components without fiber re-termination n Multiple boot styles support many cable sizes and applications including including 900µm, 1.20mm (.047”), 1.60mm (.063”), 1.80mm (.070”) and 2.00mm (.079”) as well as 45 and 90° configurations Features and Benefits n All metal housing provides a robust connector housing which resists breakage; includes durable stainless steel latches clips n 1.25mm (.049”) LumaCore terminus includes a high-performance Ceramic ferrule with hex register tuning, available for singlemode, multimode and angle-polish applications FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS Reference Information Packaging: Bag Mates With: Standard LC adapters Series 106124, 106125, 106126, 106127, 106115 Designed In: Inches Mechanical Durability: Minimum 200 mate/demate cycles Physical Housing: Anodized Aluminum Ferrule: Zirconia Ceramic Operating Temperature: -40 to +135°C LC2 Metallic Optical Connectors MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS 86387 n Telecommunication/Datacommunication - Base Stations - Vault I/O’s - Wireless Antennas - Video Transmission n Industrial - Factory Automation - Sensors - Process Equipment - Security Cameras n Aerospace - Avionics - Communications - Satellites - Data Terminals - Signal Processors - Sensors - Space Systems ORDERING INFORMATION Order No. Cable Diameter Boot 86387-1904 900µm Straight 86387-1929 1.20 to 1.60mm (.047 to .063”) Straight 86387-1304 1.80 to 2.00mm (.070 to .079”) Straight 86387-1989 Mode Type Singlemode Ferrule Size 1.20 to 1.60mm (.047 to .063”) 90° 86387-1364 1.80 to 2.00mm (.070 to .079”) 90° 86387-1979 1.20 to 1.60mm (.047 to .063”) 45° 86387-1654 1.80 to 2.00mm (.070 to .079”) 45° 900µm Straight 86387-2127 1.20 to 1.60mm (.047 to .063”) Straight 86387-1502 1.80 to 2.00mm (.070 to .079”) Straight 1.20 to 1.60mm (.047 to .063”) 90° 86387-1562 1.80 to 2.00mm (.070 to .079”) 90° 86387-2177 1.20 to 1.60mm (.047 to .063”) 45° 86387-1552 1.80 to 2.00mm (.070 to .079”) 45° Americas Headquarters Lisle, Illinois 60532 U.S.A. 1-800-78MOLEX [email protected] Order No. 987650-0591 Blue Simplex 86387-2102 86387-2187 126µm Housing Color Multimode Asia Pacific North Headquarters Yamato, Kanagawa, Japan 81-462-65-2324 [email protected] 127µm Gold Asia Pacific South Headquarters European Headquarters Jurong, Singapore Munich, Germany 65-6268-6868 49-89-413092-0 [email protected] [email protected] Visit our website at www.molex.com/fiber/lc2.html Printed in USA/JI/2006.12 Corporate Headquarters 2222 Wellington Ct.
