LX.5 (SFOC 1.25)

HUBER+SUHNER FIBER OPTICS

High packing density

Patch fields with high packing densities do not only require a compact design of single compo-

nents, but also a stable optical performance. The LX.5 connector fills the gap between small

size and safe handling. Two LX.5 connections use the same space as one SC connection.

High performance

Even though being small sized, LX.5 is a big leap in quality and performance. CATV and Telco

network operators around the globe rely on the LX.5‘s proven performance. With a high preci-

sion Zirconia full ceramic ferrule, an insertion loss of 0.1 dB and an APC return loss of more than

85 dB LX.5 is especially suited for installation in global high performance networks.

High reliability

HUBER+SUHNER’s extensive knowledge in manufacturing processes leads to the highest reli-

ability. The connectors are produced by a process of proven quality, but HUBER+SUHNER

advances quality and reliability a step further. LX.5 connectors are terminated only by certified

LAS partners. These local assembly shops have been chosen because of their profound know

ledge and ability to meet the highest quality standards.

High safety

In addition to its high performance, LX.5 offers safety and time savings. With its automatic full

metal shutters it conforms to the highest safety requirements in all current laser classes. Full metal

shutters are essential in high power applications. All optical functional parts are protected

against mechanical damage and dust. With our special tool to engage the safety lock you

easily establish permanent connection and prevent accidental disconnecting.

High flexibility

HUBER+SUHNER offers a wide range of LX.5 products to match every application. The colour

coding system can be changed both at the connector and the adapter. It prevents interconnec-

tion errors and saves time during installation and maintenance.

Today, packing density is more important than ever. The LX.5-

connector, based on the proven 1.25 mm ferrule technology, is the

only standardized small form factor connector combining high packing

density, reliability, high performance and safety due to its automatic

metal shutter.
