AMP NETCONNECT LightCrimp Plus
fibre-optic connect
Tyco Electronics introduces LC version of the AMP NETCONNECT LightCrimp Plus fibre-optic connector, enabling installers to terminate fibre in three easy steps.
The new AMP NETCONNECT LightCrimp Plus LC fibre-optic connectors from Tyco Electronics are no-epoxy/no-polish connectors which feature a factory-polished ferrule, enabling installers to terminate fibre in three easy steps: stripping the cable, cleaving the fibre and crimping the connector These new additions to the AMP NETCONNECT LightCrimp Plus family of connectors are ideal for direct termination in premises applications, such as at patch panels and wall outlets, and in trunk cabling for either backbone or horizontal cabling
