Fluke Networks SMC-9-LCAPC/LCAPCM - Single-mode 9 µm Launch Cord, Metal LCAPC Connector

Single-mode 9 µm launch cord (160 m) for testing 9 µm LCAPC terminated fibers (Metal LCAPC/Metal LCAPC)

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.
