In addition to the range of cable jacket colours, you can choose from an extensive variety of Fiber Optic connector types in our range.
The most common connector types you’ll see are: LC, SC, MPO and ST style connectors.
All of these types of connectors can be used with either Multimode of Single-mode fiber.
There are three types of polishes which can be applied to a fiber connector: PC or Physical contact, UPC or Ultra Physical contact and APC or Angled Physical contact.
Each polish type exhibits a different level of back reflection. Back reflection is a measure of the light reflected off the end of a fiber connector. This light is measured in decibels. For certain applications, the amount of back reflection on a fiber connector is critical.
L-com’s fiber connectors include commercial grade field installable fiber optic connectors as well as rugged IP67 fiber connectors for use in harsh environment applications.

These cables are OFNR rated to meet strict building codes and utilize Single mode 9/125 fiber.
