Fluke Networks continues to innovate in the testing market with the industry's first durable metal LC reference grade testing cords and launch fibres, which will be standard on all LC-terminated test cords. Traditional LC connectors use a single-piece plastic design that flexes the latching mechanism and eventually breaks, requiring replacement when used repeatedly in testing. The Fluke Networks Metal LC latching system uses a multi-piece metal design. Since this latch is not part of the body and does not flex, the life of the latching mechanism is greatly improved, thereby extending the life of the LC connector and therefore the TRCs and launch cords.
The Metal LC connector is compliant with IEC 61754-20 and TIA-604-10B interpretability standards and passes all Telecordia GR-326-CORE durability tests including thermal, humidity, vibration, flex, impact, and salt spray. The latch has been tested to 10,000 mating cycles. It’s worth noting that our DSX Cable Analyzer Permanent Link Adapter (right) solves a similar problem for RJ45 copper testing.
The Fluke Networks Test Reference Cords (TRCs) are critical to a successful measurement for certification to ANSI/TIA, ISO/IEC and IEEE standards.
