Description
LX.5 Fiber Optic Patch Cords are fiber optic cable with LX.5 connectors at both sides, which is the industry’s most reliable small-form-factor fiber optic connector.
The LX.5 doubles the density of fiber termination equipment by allowing two fibers instead of one to fit into a standard SC adapter footprint. It was developed with carrier-grade reliability to ensure network integrity, available in simplex or duplex configurations.
It maintains single circuit access and incorporates safety shutters on both the connector and adapter body to provide protection from dust, dirt, and ferrule end-face handling damage. The LX.5 connector also features a latching mechanism that effectively releases the connector from the adapter. Its user-friendly and intuitive design prevents cables from snagging at the back of the connector.
