LC Simplex PC Singlemode Optical Plug – Radiall Optical Fiber Components Datasheet

Category: Connectors, Electronics, Radiall

Overview of the LC Simplex PC Singlemode Optical Plug

The datasheet details the LC Simplex PC Singlemode Optical Plug for 02.0 mm cables, highlighting its use, specifications, and performance features. It is published by Radiall, a company known for optical fiber components, under the technical data sheet number F727.102.500. The plug body is monobloc with a blue outer color, designed for singlemode applications.

General Specifications

The optical plug conforms to the IEC 61754-20 standard featuring a singlemode Zirconia ferrule and an RJ-45 latching connector system. It is meant for 9/125µm singlemode fibers and employs the 02.0 mm simplex cable type. Assemblies must be conducted in accordance with the provided assembly instruction manual.

Optical Characteristics

At wavelengths of 1300 nm and 1550 nm, the plug has a standard attenuation of less than 0.10 dB with a mean deviation of 0.05 dB when matched with a reference plug, as verified by EC 61300-3-4 Method B. When randomly mated, the connectors maintain a similar standard for attenuation, with less than 0.07 dB standard deviation according to IEC 61300-3-34. The return-loss (RL) measures at PC for 35 dB, SPC for 40 dB, and UPC for 50 dB, validated by IEC 61300-3-6.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The LC Simplex PC Singlemode Optical Plug can endure various mechanical stress tests including vibration, impact, mechanical endurance, and cable retention. It maintains performance within a storage temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C. Furthermore, it has been tested for thermal cycling and humidity/condensation, wherein it must withstand 21 cycles of thermal fluctuation between -40°C and +75°C, and 14 cycles of 95% relative humidity at temperatures from -10°C to +65°C.

The document references additional performance specifications and standards in the GEN F727 O01 document. It underscores Radiall’s commitment to continuous improvement with a note that product modifications may be made as necessary.
