Adapter plate speeds fibre connection
The LC Quick-Pack adapter plate is the latest addition to the Siemon fibre product line.
The connector housing is a variant of Siemon's proven, tri-pin bayonet Industrial Max RJ45 connector, which has been widely accepted and used in the harsh-environment market for over three years.
The Industrial LC is a duplex-style LC fibre connector, compatible with standards-compliant optical fibre, including 50 and 62.5 micron multimode and meets ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.3 and ISO/IEC 11801 Ed2.0 specifications.
In addition to encapsulation, the Industrial LC affords users an expanded operational temperature range, redundant sealing and superior strain relief capabilities.
"Customers have been asking for a fibre-optic version of the Industrial Max, and Siemon has responded", says Randy Below, Vice President: Industrial and OEM Sales at Siemon.
"We're excited to add the Industrial LC to our portfolio of industrial and harsh environment connectivity to meet their needs".
