FIBER OPTIC TECHNOLOGY

LX.5 Patchcord
Description:
The industry's most reliable small-form-factor fiber optic connector. Doubling capacity is easy with the
LX.5. By allowing two fibers instead of one to fit into the standard SC adapter footprint, the LX.5
doubles the density of fiber termination equipment. The LX.5 was developed with carrier-class reliability
to ensure network integrity. Available in simplex or duplex configurations, the LX.5 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 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.
