LC & SC Short Boot Patch Cords
For Central Office / Telco
LC patch cords supplied with a short boot are ideal for high density applications with
tight space requirements. The connector length from tip to boot assembly is only 40
mm, compared to 66 mm for standard LC – 40% shorter!
These patch cords have the added benefit of being supplied with reduced bend
sensitivity ITU-T G657 singlemode optical fibre which exhibit much lower optical power
loss under bend conditions while remaining compatible with conventional cabling.
LC short boot patch cords are designed to meet IEC, EN or Telcordia GR 326
requirements.
Our SC patch cords supplied with a short boot are ideal for high density applications
with tight space requirements. The connector length from tip to boot assembly is only
42 mm, compared to 57 mm for standard SC – 35% shorter!
These patch cords have the added benefit of being supplied with reduced bend
sensitivity ITU-T G657 singlemode optical fibre which exhibit much lower optical power
loss under bend conditions while remaining compatible with conventional cabling.
SC short boot patch cords are designed to meet IEC and BS EN requirements.
Features

Step by Step
Step 1 - Connector Polarity Uncrossed lines under the connector latch on the housing at both ends indicates uncrossed fibre polarity A-B/B-A
Step 2 - Unlock Front Housing on one End Push the keys on either side to unlock the housing to remove the front section of the Uniboot housing.
Step 3 - Remove Front Housing Slide the front housing away from the rest of the Uniboot.
Step 4 - Rotate Front Housing Flip the released section of the housing. Do not rotate or twist the fibre
Step 5 - Attach Front Housing Push the housing back over the ends and the rest of the Uniboot connector until it clicks back into place.
Step 6 - Connector Polarity Finished result should now show crossed lines under the Flipped connector latch and uncrossed lines on the unaltered end. This would
indicate a crossed fibre polarity A-A/B-B
