LC connectors with GI (graded index) and single-mode optical fibre have typically been used for telecommunications and cabling in buildings. More recently, however, they are increasingly being specified in industrial environments. In these applications, elaborate encapsulation is required to achieve a higher degree of protection. Alternatively, several individual connectors may be joined together on patch panels.
The modular approach of HARTING’s LC module offers several key benefits. These include simplified handling as well as the ability to integrate additional electrical contacts, minimise service and maintenance time and increase the availability of the system as a whole.
