Leviton Telcom 49990-MDL Multimode Lc Connector 0.9mm Boot

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 49990-MDL is a multimode LC fiber optic connector fitted with a 0.9 mm boot, designed for terminating multimode fiber optic cable in structured cabling and network infrastructure installations. The LC form factor delivers a compact, high-density connection point suited to patch panels, media converters, and fiber distribution hardware. The 0.9 mm boot provides strain relief at the cable entry point, protecting the fiber from bend-radius violations at the termination. This connector is installed by licensed low-voltage technicians, data center cabling crews, and network infrastructure specialists.

This connector is used in commercial and residential structured cabling systems where multimode fiber runs are terminated at patch panels, wall outlets, or active equipment. Typical applications include horizontal and backbone fiber runs in office buildings, data centers, and campus environments. The LC connector type is common in high-density panels where space efficiency is a priority. It is sold individually, making it suitable for single-point repairs or small-quantity termination work.

Key Features

• LC form factor for high-density fiber optic panel and equipment installations
• Multimode fiber compatibility for standard MM fiber cabling infrastructure
• 0.9 mm boot provides cable strain relief and bend-radius protection at the termination point
• Compact design supports high port-count installations in limited rack or wall space
• Sold as a single unit for targeted repairs or low-quantity termination jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style connector for multimode fiber optic cabling terminations using 0.9 mm cable, compatible with standard LC-port fiber optic hardware including patch panels, transceivers, and media converters.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or fiber optic cabling technician following TIA-568 or applicable local structured cabling standards. Ensure all active equipment is powered down and fiber links are dark before handling or terminating connectors. Use appropriate fiber optic polishing and cleaving tools to prepare the fiber end-face prior to connector installation. Inspect the ferrule end-face with a fiber scope after termination to verify cleanliness before mating.
