DESCRIPTION
The HWC-LC01 Waterproof LC Duplex Fiber Optic Connector & Adapter is a complete outdoor-grade solution combining both the LC duplex connector and waterproof adapter.
This pairing ensures long-term stable optical transmission in FTTH, FTTA, and industrial projects where dust, rain, and vibration are critical challenges. With its push-lock design and precision sealing, it guarantees secure connectivity, reduces installation time, and supports high reliability even in harsh outdoor conditions.
- Connector + Adapter Integration: Designed as a pair, ensuring a fully waterproof LC duplex interface for outdoor use.
- Quick Installation: Connector’s push-lock mechanism mates directly with the adapter, reducing labor time.
- Durability Under Stress: Both connector and adapter are tested for ≥500 mating cycles, maintaining low loss.
- Flexible Housing Options: Available in cost-effective plastic or rugged metal housings to suit different project demands.
- Environmental Resilience: With IP65/IP67/IP68 protection, both parts resist water, dust, vibration, and high pressure.
- System Compatibility: Fits standard LC duplex optical modules and patch cords, enabling seamless integration.
