Description
LC fiber optic patch cord jumper is a commonly used network connection device that uses a fiber optic connector standard called LC, suitable for high-density fiber optic wiring environments, compatible with single mode or multimode fibers, achieving low loss connections, fast insertion and removal, reusable, following international standards, with color coding, widely used in multiple fields, custom in different specifications, and requires maintaining fiber end face cleanliness during use.
The LC connector was developed by Lucent Technologies and named after its English abbreviation. It looks similar to an RJ45 Ethernet plug, but has a smaller size with a diameter of approximately 1.25 millimeters, while the RJ45 plug has a diameter of approximately 6.35 millimeters.

LC Patch Cord Features
- The miniaturization design of LC connectors makes them very suitable for high-density fiber optic distribution environments, such as data centers and telecommunications rooms.
- LC head fiber jumpers can be used for both single-mode fiber (SMF) and multimode fiber (MMF), providing high flexibility.
- The precision of LC connectors ensures that optical fibers can achieve low loss physical connections during insertion, which is crucial for ensuring data transmission quality.
- LC connectors usually use a push-pull locking mechanism, which makes insertion and removal operations very fast and convenient, while also ensuring the reliability of the connection.
- LC connectors can be reused with care to avoid damaging the fiber core and maintain good connection quality.
- LC connectors comply with the standards of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), ensuring interoperability on a global scale.
- For the convenience of management and differentiation, LC head fiber optic jumpers are usually color coded, such as blue for single-mode fiber and orange for multi-mode fiber.
- LC head fiber optic jumpers are widely used in fields such as telecommunications, broadcasting, healthcare, education, and finance, and are an indispensable part of building fiber optic networks.
- LC head fiber optic jumpers can be customized with different lengths and types of fiber cores according to customer needs to meet various specific network deployment requirements.
