Corning UniCam LC Connector E9 UltraPC Monomode Fiber 95-200-99

Corning UniCam LC Connector E9 UltraPC is a single-mode fiber optic LC connector with an UltraPC-polished endface designed for precision terminations. It is intended for use in environments that require stable, low-loss optical connections such as network equipment, patch panels and fiber assemblies. The connector is built to provide consistent single-mode performance and straightforward field installation for telecom and data centre cabling tasks.

Advantages

The connector offers a polished UltraPC endface that reduces back reflection and insertion loss in single-mode links. Its LC form factor provides a compact footprint for high-density panels and equipment, while the mechanical design enables simple and repeatable terminations. The component is compatible with standard LC adapters and assemblies, facilitating integration into existing fiber infrastructures without requiring special tools beyond common fiber termination aids.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber patch panels and distribution frames
• Pre-terminated fiber assemblies and pigtails
• Telecom cabinets and data centre interconnects
• Field terminations where low insertion loss and low back reflection are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC (small form factor)
• Mode: Single-mode
• Endface polish: UltraPC
• Typical application: Patch panels, fiber assemblies, equipment ports
• Compatibility: Standard LC adapters and receptacles
• Design focus: Low insertion loss and reduced back reflection

How to use

Prepare the single-mode fiber according to standard termination procedures: strip, clean and cleave the fiber to the required length. Install the fiber into the connector body following the manufacturer's termination steps and use appropriate polishing or crimping tools if applicable. After assembly, verify connection quality with an optical power meter or an optical loss test set and inspect the endface with a fiber microscope to confirm correct UltraPC polishing and alignment. Finally, secure the connector in an LC adapter or panel port for operation.

Usage recommendations

Handle fiber endfaces with care and inspect connectors before mating to avoid contamination and potential signal degradation. Use standard single-mode cleaning procedures and test links after installation to confirm acceptable insertion loss and reflectance levels.
