SCP EF-CON-SM-LC LC Male Fibre Optic Connector

The SCP EF-CON-SM-LC LC Male Fibre Optic Connector is a high-performance solution designed for reliable network connectivity in single-mode fibre optic installations. These connectors are engineered for precision, ensuring minimal signal loss and reflection, which is essential for maintaining high-speed data transmission in professional telecommunications and data communication infrastructures.

Advantages

These connectors offer significant benefits for field installations, providing a professional-grade termination that is both fast and efficient. By allowing for on-site termination, they eliminate the need for complex factory-pre-terminated cables, saving time and reducing logistical challenges. Their design ensures high durability and consistent performance, making them a preferred choice for integrators who require a balance between cost-effectiveness and premium signal quality.

Suitable for

• Local Area Networks (LAN)
• Audio-Visual (AV) installations
• Multi-Dwelling Units (MDU)
• Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) and Fibre-to-the-Desk (FTTD) projects
• General telecommunications infrastructure

When it may not be suitable

This connector is specifically designed for single-mode fibre optic cables. It is not compatible with multi-mode fibre systems, and attempting to use it with the wrong cable type will result in significant signal loss or complete connection failure. Additionally, it is intended for professional use and requires appropriate fibre preparation tools for successful installation.

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC Male
• Compatibility: Single-mode fibre
• Cable compatibility: 250µm/900µm distribution and 2.0mm duplex zip/shotgun cable
• Colour: Blue housing
• Quantity: 10 pieces per pack

How to use

To install the SCP EF-CON-SM-LC connector, first prepare the fibre optic cable by stripping the outer jacket and buffer to expose the glass fibre. Clean the fibre thoroughly and cleave it to the required length according to standard fibre optic termination procedures. Insert the prepared fibre into the connector body until it is properly seated. Secure the connector housing to lock the fibre in place, ensuring that the connection is stable and protected from mechanical stress.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your cable infrastructure is single-mode to ensure compatibility.
• Ensure you have the necessary fibre stripping and cleaving tools available on-site.
• Confirm the cable diameter matches the supported specifications of 250µm, 900µm, or 2.0mm.
• Check the quantity required for your specific project scale.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, always ensure the fibre end-face is clean and free of debris before insertion. Use a fibre inspection microscope to verify the quality of the termination after installation to guarantee low signal loss.
