HARTING LC Fiber Optic Cable Assemblies

Markham,ON—June 30, 2009 —Chartwell announces the availability of LC fiber optic cable assemblies rated for outdoor use.

HARTING now offers complete cable assembly solutions for LC fiber optic multimode applications. Outdoor rated fiber optic cable is pre-assembled with HARTING's outdoor rated PushPull LC connector to create a complete, pre-tested, ready-to-install LC fiber optic solution. HARTING's LC fiber optic cable assemblies achieve exceptionally low loss over long distances with high data-carrying capacity.

In contrast to copper data transmission, fiber optic transmission is immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI). HARTING's LC fiber optic solutions are ideal for high speed applications in aggressive environments with high EMI, as well as applications requiring distances outside the limitations of copper cabling.

HARTING provides these ready-to-install LC fiber optic cable assemblies in various lengths. Single-ended versions are offered as well, allowing customers the flexibility to assemble the second connector as needed.

Features:

•  Protection level IP65/IP67, suitable for outdoor applications

•  2-fiber multimode (62.5µm)

•  Typical wavelength 850nm and 1310nm

•  Innovative PushPull connectors provide an easy to install solution
