LC2+ optical interconnect suits harsh environments
Molex
LC2+ optical interconnect product line
Molex has announced the LC2+ optical interconnect product line for high-density, harsh-environment optical applications.
The LC2+ is a metal connector body and latch version of the LC connector system, providing an enhanced latch retention system and a specific high-temperature strain-relief boot.
It works in conjunction with the latest high-temperature enhanced-performance (EP) aerospace-grade fibre-optic cables and sealing features to protect from moisture propagation.
'Molex's LC2+ connectors have a ruggedised, all-metal-connector housing, making them ideal for use in industries that operate under harsh conditions, including industrial, military, medical, aviation and aerospace,' said Mark Matuszewski, product manager, Molex.
'Its features make further improvements by providing a high-performance discrete fibre solution intended for use in the most rigorous operating environments, such as high temperature, severe shock and vibration, as well as exposure to high-moisture situations,' he added.
The system is fully compatible with all LC form factor connectors, adapters, active devices and tooling.
The optical simplex and duplex connectors are available for multi-mode, single-mode and APC applications.
In addition, LC2+ interconnects can incorporate Polymicro's large core speciality fibres, giving optical-system designers a complete solution to connect large core optical fibres used for data, sensing and optical power transmission.
