3M™
Fibre Optic Couplings, LC
3M offers a wide range of RoHS compliant LC couplings for all
applications in Premise and FTTX networks.
All couplings comply with the corresponding Standards IEC
61754-20 and GR-326 for single-mode and multimode
technology.
Single-mode couplings for both PC and APC connections are
equipped with Zirconia ceramic split sleeves to ensure best
alignment and high performance also under temperature
extremes and rough handling conditions.
The precision moulded polymer housing provides consitant long
term optical and mechanical performance.
Also the multimode OM3 and OM4 couplings contain Zirkonia
ceramic sleeves, whereas the OM1 and OM2 couplings are
equipped with PhBr metal sleeves.
All couplings can be fixed with the applied standard stainless
steel fixing clamp. The flanged versions also have holes for
2mm screw fixing.
