Announcing the Industry’s First Durable Metal LC Reference Grade Test Cords
Fluke Networks continues to innovate in the testing market with the industry’s first durable metal LC reference grade testing cords and launch fibers, which will be standard on all LC-terminated test cords. Traditional LC connectors use a single-piece plastic design that flexes the latching mechanism and eventually breaks, requiring replacement when used repeatedly in testing. The Fluke Networks Metal LC latching system uses a multi-piece metal design. Since this latch is not part of the body and does not flex, the life of the latching mechanism is greatly improved, thereby extending the life of the LC connector and therefore the TRC’s and launch cords.
The Metal LC connector is compliant with IEC 61754-20 and TIA-604-10B intermateability standards and passes all Telecordia GR-326-CORE durability tests including thermal, humidity, vibration, flex, impact, and salt spray. The latch has been tested to 10,000 mating cycles. It’s worth noting that our DSX Cable Analyzer Permanent Link Adapter (right) solves a similar problem for RJ45 copper testing.
Over the coming weeks, all LC test cords will be obsoleted and replaced by new models featuring the Metal LC connector.
Launch and tail cables are designed to be used in conjunction with an OTDR to characterize a fiber link. A launch cable should be used between the OTDR’s port and the link under test to allow the characterization of the first connector. A tail cable should be used at the far-end of the link to allow the characterization of the far-end connection.
