LC-Type Ceramic Sleeve
LC Standard Ceramic Sleeves are used in LC fiber optic connectors, featuring miniaturization, high-precision alignment, and low insertion loss. They are widely applied in data centers, telecommunication networks, and high-speed optical communication systems. With an outer diameter typically of 1.62mm, smaller than that of SC sleeves, they are better suited for high-density cabling requirements. We offer high-precision zirconia ceramic sleeves to ensure stable and durable fiber connections, and we support customization for different dimensions and tolerance specifications.
- Miniature size for space saving
- High concentricity and accuracy
- Supports duplex LC systems
- Reliable mechanical strength
- Optimized for fast data networks
