LC Connector
The LC fiber optic connector is a small form-factor fiber-optic connector that provides high-density fiber
connectivity. The LC connector can be used with either MMF cable or SMF cable. The LC connector uses a
latching clip mechanism that is similar to the one used on the RJ-45 copper connector.
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams
or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051
Warning
Make sure that the optical connectors are clean before making the connections. Contaminated connectors
can damage the fiber and cause data errors.
