Overview

The Panduit OptiCam Keyed LC Fiber Optic Connector (SKU: FLCSMC6DYL) is a specialized solution for secure and reliable multimode fiber optic connections. Designed for 62.5/125?m OM1 fiber, this simplex connector is engineered for direct installation onto 900-micron tight-buffered fiber. Its key feature is the integrated keyed system, specifically designated as Keyed D with a distinct yellow color, which enhances network security by preventing accidental or unauthorized connections with incompatible LC connectors. This is crucial in environments where network segregation and physical security are paramount. The connector boasts a natural-colored body, providing a clean aesthetic, complemented by a yellow-colored backbone that visually reinforces its keyed identification. It includes a black 900?m boot designed to protect the fiber termination point and manage cable strain effectively. Manufactured in the USA, this connector adheres to high-quality standards. The UNSPSC code 43223310 categorizes it within the fiber optic connector segment. This product is ideal for data centers, telecommunications infrastructure, and enterprise networks requiring robust fiber termination with an added layer of physical security through its unique keyed LC interface.
