One major advantage of the LC connector is its ability for high density in patch panels. It is smaller than the copper RJ-45 providing the same or greater port density for fibre as copper. The LC requires less space in faceplates and cabinets and allows you to double the number of connectors in the same space, making it the perfect choice in applications where space is limited.
Since the LC connector has a style similar to a telephone plug, engaging and releasing the LC connector is intuitive and fast, reducing the cost of installation, rearrangements, and training.
Saving space saves money........
The duplex LC connector fits in the same space as a copper
CAT-5 plug, and requires half the space of conventional duplex
fibre optic connectors.
Minicord is a compact yet robust cordage with an 80 lb. pull rating,
and uses less than 1/3 of the space required by 3 millimeter fibre
cordage.
LC connectors on Minicord can reduce the required space for cross
connect shelves by one half. The result is a high density fibre
optic solution that reduces the amount of space and investment
required in the closet and at the desk. An LC solution is also
half as intrusive to existing buildings and simpler to integrate
into new building designs.
Our LC singlemode connector products are compliant to Telcordia GR326 Issue 3.

We recommend singlemode connectors should be machine polished
in order to achieve the desired high optical return loss. We offer
an LC polishing plate
for the Domaille polishing machine.
