The Molex LC2+ optical interconnect features an enhanced locking hook system and dedicated high-temperature protection, working in conjunction with modern fiber optic cables that meet EP (Enhanced Performance) temperature requirements and are suitable for aerospace applications. Furthermore, they are hermetically sealed, preventing moisture from penetrating the connector and reaching expensive active devices.
“Molex LC2+ connectors feature a robust, all-metal housing, making them ideal for use in harsh environments such as the military, medical, aerospace, and aerospace industries,” says Mark Matuszewski, Molex product manager, adding, “The LC2+ connector’s excellent characteristics represent a significant improvement, offering a discreet, high-performance, fiber-optic solution designed for use in the most demanding operating environments, characterized by high temperatures, shocks, vibrations, and high humidity.”.
The LC2+ system is fully compatible with any LC form factor adapter, active device, tool, and connector. Simplex and duplex optical connectors are available for multimode, single-mode, and APC applications.
In addition, Molex's LC2+ interconnects can incorporate Polymicro Technologies' special large-core fibers and offer optical system designers a complete solution for establishing large-core optical fiber-based connections used to transmit data and optical and sensing power.
