The rugged all metal design replaces plastic LC connector tab. A flush screw/T-clip to the top of the LC receptacle design makes thermal and fiber management easier inside LRU’s for repair of fiber jumper to box/LRU level connector. It's secure interface is ideal for high shock & vibration applications with excellent insertion and return loss.
