Panduit FLCCLIW-X Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Panduit FLCCLIW-X is a 10-pack of LC fiber optic connectors designed for field termination in structured cabling systems. These connectors are essential for creating reliable optical network connections in environments where pre-terminated cables are impractical or where custom cable lengths are required. The FLCCLIW-X ensures a clean and precise fiber end-face, critical for maintaining signal integrity and minimizing insertion loss in high-speed data transmission networks.

Compatibility

These LC connectors are compatible with standard single-mode and multimode fiber optic cables terminated using Panduit's field-installable connector technology. They are suitable for use in various Panduit fiber optic termination kits and systems, ensuring seamless integration with existing Panduit structured cabling infrastructure. Specific compatibility extends to cables with 2.0mm or 3.0mm jacket diameters when used with appropriate strain relief boots.

Installation Notes

Field termination requires specific Panduit tooling, including a fiber cleaver, stripper, and crimper. Proper fiber preparation, including cleaning the fiber end-face and precise cleaving to under 0.5 degrees, is critical for achieving optimal performance. The connector utilizes a mechanical splice mechanism that is activated by the crimping tool, ensuring a permanent and low-loss connection without the need for epoxy or curing ovens.
