LC duplex fiber optic connector is two simplex LC connectors encased in a common housing. Compared with LC simplex connector, the installation steps are reduced, saving time and money.

1. LC Duplex Fiber Connector for High-density Cabling
Due to its small size, LC connector is the mainstream fiber optic connectors, and is widely
used in optical communication networks, data networks and cable television networks. In
daily application environment, LC duplex connector used more often because of its cabling
space saving. LC duplex fiber optic connector is two simplex LC connectors encased in a
common housing. Compared with LC simplex connector, the installation steps are reduced,
saving time and money.
HYC’s LC duplex connector is superior to traditional LC duplex connector, providing an
innovative solution for quick unlocking. Compared to the traditional two single connectors,
this duplex connector only needs one press to achieve double releasing.
As shown in Figure 2, the design of this two-core connector has two advantages, one is the
longer clip and another is lower clip. The extended longer latch on top of the connector body
makes it easier to disengage from the adapter, even in high-density packaging. If you have
the experience of releasing LC duplex connectors in patch panels in high-density cabling,
you may know why this is important. Because in the cabling case, thumbs and forefingers are
not ideally suited to operate the release lever and pulling the connector. The handle portion
of a conventional duplex connector will be slightly higher than the adapter, which will take

2. up more space during the cabling installation. The lower clip design of this LC duplex
connector can save more space. In the high-density environment of the data center, the
space saved by multiple connectors is combined to have a great advantage.
Another important advantage is the ability to reverse polarity. In the optical signal
transmission, the optical signal is divided into a receiving end and a transmitting end. The
optical fiber link transmitting signal (Tx) at one end of the optical cable must be matched
with the corresponding receiver (Rx) at the other end, and the matching is called polarity.

3. Conventional LC fiber jumpers have significant limitations in achieving polarity switching. It
is necessary to pay special attention to the direction of polarity transformation to avoid the
failure of termination, and face the possibility of replacing the jumpers and re-cabling. The
ability to switch polarity of this LC duplex connector makes this operation easier, saving a lot
of time and wiring costs by easily switching polarity without any tools.

4. With the rapid application of 5G, how to provide a high-density, low-cost, easy-to-manage,
and highly reliable network cabling system for data centers has become an increasingly
important requirement. The LC duplex fiber optic connector is a high-reliability, low-cost,
high-density cabling solution.
