1 FIBERExpress DATASheet Secure/Keyed LC Optimax The Secure/Keyed LC Optimax field installable connectors, are part of the Belden IBDN FiberExpress Secure/Keyed LC System. AX102197 Secure/Keyed LC Optimax Secure/Keyed LC Optimax – components The FiberExpress Secure/Keyed LC System allows for physical segregation of networks segments in secure fiber cabling infrastructure. The various components offered in this system allow network managers to design and build very efficiently a secure network with restricted access to sensitive information to specific users only. The Secure/Keyed LC Optimax are available with 6 different keying options each carrying a different color to facilitate network administration. The keying detail inside the connector is totally tamper-resistant and cannot be re-produced inside a standard LC connector to violate the network security. All other physical requirements comply with the FOCIS 10 standard and optical performance exceeds all industry standards for SFF connectors. The connectors are available in multimode 50 µm laser-optimized and 62.5 µm fiber versions. About the Optimax: the Optimax Connectors are reliable field installable optical fiber connectors that are easy to install. They do not require epoxy, curing or polishing. Their unique design incorporates a factory polished fiber stub in a splice mechanism which provides a fast, secure, and reliable termination on optical fiber cables. All critical steps are performed in the factory, ensuring a superior-quality connection every time. Only simple tools are required for installation, making Optimax a cost effective field termination. Features & Benefits > 6 physically discreet, color-coded keying options — provide design flexibility and facilitate network administration > Tamper-resistant key design — prevents intruder access > Uses the same inexpensive tool kit as for regular Optimax LC installation — facilitating logistics and material ordering > All Optimax Multimode 50 µm connectors contain a Laser-Optimized fiber stub (FX2000 fiber) and are also backward compatible with the FX600 series 50 µm fiber types > No polishing required — saves installation time and the cost of polishing paper > No epoxy required — saves installation time, no oven required, safe to use, no power required, saves cost of epoxy > Pre-radiused PC ceramic ferrule — ensures contact with optical fibers, improves durability, provides high performance > Unlimited shelf life — unlike epoxy products which have a tendency to dry out if left on the shelf too long > Easy connection to learn — Optimax training video on CD offers efficient and consistent training for field services personnel. The Optimax Optical Fiber Field Installable Connectors are high-quality connectors that use a ceramic ferrule with a physical contact (PC) polish for Multimode connectors. 1-800-BELDEN-1 • www.belden.com 2 FIBERExpress DATASheet Secure/Keyed LC Optimax Applications Technical Specifications Installation Tips > Secure networks in government agencies and military facilities > Field Assembly Time: 1 minute for 900 µm, 3 minutes for jacketed fiber > Cleaving the fiber: > Data Centers treating sensitive and classified information > Insertion Loss (Multimode): 0.3 dB (typical) > Indoor termination of fiber cables > Patch panels/Distribution frames > Communication outlets, Fiber-tothe-desk > Direct termination to equipment > Fiber cable repair > Durability: Multimode: Less than 0.2 dB change, 500 cycles. > Customer premise/Access network. Cable Color Code A light touch is all you need to score the fiber and consequently cleave it Always inspect the cleave with the microscope: stripping and cleaving should be redone if the fiber end is chipped, crushed or at an angle > Nominal Fiber O.D.: 125 µm > Storage Temperature: -40° to 65°C (-40° to 149°F) Make sure that the length of the bare fiber is between 7.0 and 7.5 mm (0.27 and 0.3 in.). Verify your measurement using the installation card. > Operating Temperature: 0° to 60°C (32° to 140°F) > Campus Optimax works like a mechanical splice and is sensitive to the quality of the fiber cleave > Tensile Load: On jacketed fiber: 50 N (5.1 Kg/11.2 lbs) > Pen mark: Always make a pen mark on the fiber buffer before cleaving On 900 micron tight buffered fiber: 6.7 N (0.68 Kg/1.5 lbs). > Crimping the fiber: This step is necessary to provide the mechanical strength between the fiber and the connector Connector Types Color of connector LC Key1 (0°) Red > Ferrule: Ceramic LC Key2 (240°) Green > Reflectance: LC Key3 (120°) Yellow LC Key4 (300°) Black LC Key5 (60°) Orange LC Key6 (180°) Blue Multimode: -30 dB (typical). Note: All related performance specifications meet or exceed TIA/EIA-568-B.3 requirements. > Installation on jacketed fiber: If the termination of a breakout cable or dual zip cord is contained in an enclosure, follow instructions for terminating on 900 µm, it is sufficient, easier and quicker than installation on jacketed fiber > Safety tips: Always wear safety glasses Dispose waste fiber properly in the waste bottle. > Testing procedure: Use the proper test method such as the one recommended by ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B, TIA TSB-140 or Belden IBDN acceptance testing notes. 1-800-BELDEN-1 • www.belden.com 3 FIBERExpress DATASheet Secure/Keyed LC Optimax Packaging For More Information > Individually packaged in a clear plastic bag For any other product information call: 1-800-BELDEN-1 or visit us at www.Belden.com > Standard shipping packaging is a bag of 25 units.
