Overview

The Panduit FLCSMC6CGR OptiCam Keyed LC Fiber Optic Connector is a simplex, multimode connector designed for 62.5/125µm OM1 fiber. This connector is specifically engineered for easy installation onto 900-micron tight-buffered fiber, simplifying the termination process. Its key feature is the 'Keyed C' designation, indicated by a green backbone and green key, which provides enhanced network security by preventing accidental or unauthorized connections with other Keyed LC products. This color-coding system is crucial for maintaining network integrity and preventing misconfigurations in complex fiber optic infrastructures. The connector body is natural-colored, complementing the green backbone and the black 900µm boot, which offers strain relief and protection to the fiber. Manufactured by Panduit, a recognized leader in network infrastructure solutions, the FLCSMC6CGR ensures reliability and performance for your fiber optic deployments. Its construction is optimized for single-mode fiber applications requiring secure and identifiable connections. The UNSPSC code for this product is 43223310, and it is proudly made in the USA. This connector is an essential component for building secure and organized fiber optic networks, particularly in environments where distinct port identification and security are paramount.
