Radiall LC connector is the Small Form Factor (SFF) solution for high density applications
and features the familiar latching mechanism of the RJ-45 modular plug.
The LC connector is ideal to guarantee very high performances while saving space.
It benefits from the most advanced of Radiall’s technologies, such as the secured
bonding and crimping reliability to provide a secure connexion and very fast assembly.
Radiall's LC series is available in 2 configurations depending on the application:
- Standard range for Telecom applications: tested according to GR-326-CORE Telcordia
and IEC 60874 specifications
- Aerospace range: specific LC designed to perform with aerospace cables in harsh
environment conditions
Radiall’s LC product range is manufactured under a worldwide license from OFS,
formerly known as Lucent Technologies.
BENEFITS & FEATURES
• Easy mounting and installation
- Small Form Factor for higher density (half size of SC connector)
- Radiall has a proprietary secure bonding to protect the floating mechanism during the resin injection process
- Latched push-pull system for quick insertion and removal even on very dense circuitry
- APC 8° pre-angled version is available to accelerate installation on the field
- Color coding
• High performance
- Facilitate high-speed applications with lower power requirements due to low insertion loss (0.1 dB typical)
and high return loss (>60 dB SingleMode APC)
- High precision alignment with proven 1.25 mm zirconia ferrule
- Tested according to GR-326-CORE Telcordia and IEC 60874 specifications
• Secure Connexion
- Pull-proof design
- Radiall has improved the crimping reliability thanks to a mini metallic tube protecting the fiber while reducing
stress and ensuring excellent cable retention
- Different protection boots available with exclusive shape to tighten the cable and maintain optical performances
even when the cable is bent or pulled
• Flexible
- 2 configurations: Radiall LC is available in a standard configuration and in an aerospace grade for extended
temperature range and increased mechanical performances
- Available for MultiMode, SingleMode, PC, UPC and APC terminations
- Can be assembled in duplex configuration with a removable clip
- Duplex adapters are available in RJ-45 or SC cut-out

DUPLEX LC CONNECTORS
• Flexible configuration with a removable duplex clip:
Thanks to Radiall’s LC removable duplex clip, a simplex connector can be changed at any time to a duplex
connector.
Select 2 Simplex LC connectors and a duplex removable clip to create your duplex LC connector.
The duplex clip needs to be ordered separately. To select a clip, please refer to the “accessories” section.
• Duplex LC with non removable clip:
Radiall also offers a range of “complete LC duplex” connectors.
These “complete LC duplex” connectors present the advantage to be slightly smaller
than the ones with the removable clip. They are especially adapted to be mounted
into transceivers.
Note: the brace is not removable.

SUPER FLEXIBLE BOOTS
The super flexible boots are especially recommended where space is limited and
a small bending radius is required (min radius R= 20 mm). The use of these boots
prevents any damage of the fiber even with a low bend radius. These boots are
available in many colors.
