TE Connectivity's (TE) LightCrimp Plus optical fiber connectors are no-epoxy, no-polish connectors that make optical fiber
terminations faster and easier with typical termination times of less than one minute. LightCrimp Plus connectors feature a
factory-polished ferrule to allow fiber termination in three easy steps. Just strip the cable, cleave the fiber and crimp on the
connector.
TE's LightCrimp Plus connectors are eligible for the TE 25-year Component and Systems Performance Warranties. LightCrimp
Plus SC, ST and LC connectors are available in singlemode and multimode (62.5μm, 50μm and XG [850nm LO 50μm]) and in
simplex and duplex versions. LightCrimp Plus XG connector technology exceeds the performance requirements of ANSI/TIA/
EIA-568-C and ISO 11801.
Specification (text in brackets [ ] requires a choice)
Optical fibers shall be terminated with TE's LightCrimp Plus, no-epoxy, no-polish connectors. Optical fiber connectors shall
be [ST-Style, SC simplex, SC duplex, LC simplex or LC duplex], [multimode 50/125μm or 62.5/125μm (for ST-style) or
multimode 50/125μm, XG (850nm LO 50/125μm), 62.5/125μm or single-mode]. The connector shall have a ceramic ferrule with
factory-polished fiber stub and shall be field installable without requiring epoxy, or polishing. The connector shall meet the
performance requirements listed in the following table:
In addition the LightCrimp Plus connector shall meet the intermateability requirements of [ANSI/TIA/EIA-604-2 (for
ST-style), ANSI/TIA/EIA-604-3 (for SC simplex or duplex) or ANSI/TIA/EIA-604-10 (for LC simplex or duplex)]. The optical
fiber connector shall be TE part number [6754482-1, 6754483-X, 6754484-1, 6754485-X, 6693278-1, 6693276-1, 6588291-2,
6588292-2, 6278079-2, 6278080-2, 6278009-1, 6278082-X, 5492643-1, 5492642-2 (-X denotes fiber type, see part number
table on page 2 for details)].
