Optical Cable Corp. RFC-LC8 Lc Single-mode Fiber Connector

Product Description

The OPTICAL CABLE CORP. RFC-LC8 is an LC-style single-mode fiber optic connector designed for field termination of 250 micron and 900 micron buffered fiber. It provides a low-loss, high-repeatability connection point in single-mode optical fiber runs. The LC form factor uses a 1.25 mm ceramic ferrule and a push-pull latching mechanism, making it a standard choice for high-density patch panels, fiber distribution frames, and structured cabling installations. Licensed telecommunications technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the typical installers.

This connector is suited for single-mode fiber termination in commercial and enterprise network infrastructure, data centers, and telecommunications closets. The dual 250/900 micron compatibility means it works with both tight-buffered cable and bare fiber, giving installers flexibility across different cable constructions and termination methods. It is sold as an individual connector, one unit per package.

Key Features

• LC form factor with 1.25 mm ferrule for high-density fiber installations
• Compatible with 250 micron and 900 micron fiber buffer diameters
• Single-mode rated for low-loss optical performance
• Push-pull latch mechanism for secure, tool-assisted insertion and removal
• Sold individually, one connector per unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style field-termination connector for single-mode optical fiber with 250 micron or 900 micron buffer coatings, typical of standard LC single-mode fiber optic cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or fiber optic cabling contractor familiar with cleave-and-crimp or epoxy-and-polish termination methods. Proper fiber preparation, including stripping, cleaving, and cleaning, is critical to achieving acceptable insertion loss values. Follow TIA-568 and any applicable local codes for fiber termination practices. Inspect the ferrule end-face with an optical scope before mating to avoid contamination damage.
