How to Choose the Right FC-LC Configuration
Four decisions define your FC-LC singlemode assembly — use this guide to arrive at the right configuration for your deployment.
Confirm Distance & Bandwidth
Singlemode fiber is the correct choice for long-distance communication and higher bandwidth applications, especially when your network spans kilometers rather than meters.
Verify Connector Compatibility
Make sure your equipment supports FC and LC interfaces, and confirm port orientation, mating style, and adapter requirements before ordering.
Select Cable Length
Choose a length that matches your routing path with minimal slack. Precise lengths help maintain clean cable management and reduce strain on connectors.
Choose the Right Jacket
Select a jacket type suited to the environment, such as PVC, plenum, LSZH, or ruggedized construction for harsher installations.
