GigaPOF® LC connectors are the world’s simplest field-installable optical connectors.They can be used with 3-mm simplex and duplex cables containing any of our LD-series of 750 micron OD fibers, including GigaPOF-62LD and GigaPOF-120LD. The GigaPOF® LC connector is completely compatible with the industry-standard LC footprint, allowing drop-in use of GigaPOF® cables with off-the-shelf optical transceivers.

FEATURES | BENEFITS

The world's simplest optical connector

The GigaPOF® LC connector attaches to GigaPOF® fiber cables with just two crimps: a crimp in back to secure the cable sheath, and a crimp in front that permanently swages the metal ferrule onto the fiber. No adhesives, index-matching gels or other components are required. The entire process takes about a minute, and can be learned quickly by anybody.

No expensive, bulky toolkit required

Field installation toolkits for glass fiber connectors can run to nearly a dozen tools and often cost thousands of dollars. With the GigaPOF® LC tool kit (part number GigaPOF-TL-KITLD-LC) there are only crimpers, strippers, and a pair of scissors. Everything fits in a single small bag, and comes
at an affordable price.

Manual or automatic termination

GigaPOF® connectors can be hand-polished in under
a minute. For larger installations or for factory-assembly environments, our automatic termination tool (GigaPOF-TL-MM) gives you a perfect end-face every time in about 10 seconds.
