LC Simplex, Duplex and Uniboot Fiber Optic Connector
The LC fiber optic connector is offered in simplex, duplex and reversible uniboot styles – a small-form-factor, latch-lock solution for high-density patch panels and equipment ports.
Product Overview
The LC family combines a 1.25 mm ferrule with a push-pull latch, doubling port density versus SC. Uniboot versions house two fibers in one boot and allow polarity reversal in the field. It is part of our connector module range.
Image sets show small-form-factor kits including uniboot construction; use them to select the correct housing and termination process.
Key Features
- LC simplex, duplex and uniboot formats
- Small-form-factor latch lock for high density
- Uniboot polarity-reversible option
- Kit with ferrule, housing, boot and cap
- Configuration-dependent strain relief
- Ideal for dense patching environments

Performance & Reliability
LC coupling relies on accurate ferrule alignment, clean end faces and a firm latch engagement. Because the ferrule is small, controlled polishing and clean handling are essential to keep insertion loss low and repeatable.
Customization & Ordering
Tell us simplex or duplex, uniboot, UPC or APC, and fiber type. We supply loose kits or finished LC patch cords. All assemblies are terminated, end-face inspected and individually tested before dispatch. Send your drawing, connector pair, fiber type and target volume, and our engineers will return a configuration, sample plan and lead time. Contact our sales team for OEM/ODM support.
FAQ
Q: What is a uniboot LC?
A: A uniboot LC holds two fibers in one combined boot and can be reversed to swap send/receive polarity without rebuilding the cord.
Q: LC or SC for high density?
A: LC uses a smaller ferrule and latch, so it fits roughly twice as many ports in the same panel space.
Q: Do you make finished LC patch cords?
A: Yes, we build simplex, duplex and uniboot LC cords in custom lengths.
