Description
Experience faster fiber terminations with the Black Box Pre-Polished LC Fiber Optic Connector. Designed for 50-micron multimode fiber, this reliable LC connector arrives in a convenient 6-pack, making it ideal for bulk deployments, field upgrades, or multi-port installations. The key advantage is its epoxy-free, field-ready design: you can achieve solid, low-loss connections quickly, with the option to reseat the fiber if adjustments are needed. Factory polishing delivers repeatable performance from the first connection, helping you maintain network integrity while simplifying installation. Built for rugged environments and professional deployments, the black housing provides a clean, professional finish that blends with data centers, labs, and equipment racks. This connector is purpose-built to meet industry standards, including TIA/EIA 568A, ensuring compatibility with existing network infrastructure and compliance with established performance requirements. Whether you’re upgrading a link or deploying a new backbone, this 6-pack of LC pre-polished connectors brings speed, reliability, and ease of use to your fiber projects.
- Fast field connections with no epoxy required: Pre-polished ferrules enable rapid terminations on site, reducing installation time and downtime.
- Pre-polished ferrule for reliable, repeatable terminations: Factory-polished surfaces minimize insertion loss and provide consistent performance across connectors.
- 50-micron multimode compatibility: Optimized for high-bandwidth networks and standard multimode fiber applications.
- Reseatable fiber design: If alignment needs adjustment, the fiber can be reseated to maximize connection quality without replacing the entire assembly.
- Durable black housing in a 6-pack: A cost-effective, ready-to-use solution that integrates smoothly into equipment cabinets and network racks while meeting TIA/EIA 568A performance requirements.

How to Install Black Box Pre-Polished Fiber Optic Connector
- Prepare your workspace and verify fiber compatibility: Ensure you are using 50-micron multimode fiber that matches the LC pre-polished connector specifications.
- Clean the fiber endface: Use a lint-free wipe and isopropyl alcohol to remove any debris or contaminants that could affect connection quality.
- Inspect the connector and ferrule: Check for any damage on the pre-polished ferrule and confirm proper orientation for LC mating.
- Insert the fiber into the pre-polished ferrule: Carefully seat the fiber into the connector until it is fully engaged. If a reseating option is provided, gently reseat to optimize the endface alignment.
- Test the termination: Use an appropriate optical test kit (such as a power meter and light source or OTDR) to verify insertion loss and integrity of the connection.
- Secure and protect: Once satisfied with the performance, secure the connection in its housing, apply any required protective caps or covers, and label for future maintenance.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a pre-polished fiber optic connector?
A pre-polished connector uses factory-polished ferrules to provide fast, epoxy-free terminations with reliable, low-loss performance for field installations.
- What fiber types does this connector support?
It is designed for 50-micron multimode fiber, a common choice for many enterprise and data-center applications that require higher bandwidth over shorter to mid-range distances.
- Do I need epoxy to terminate fiber with this connector?
No. The pre-polished design eliminates the need for epoxy, simplifying installation, reducing fumes, and speeding up terminations.
- Can I reseat the fiber after termination?
Yes. The connector supports reseating, allowing adjustments to achieve optimal end-face alignment and minimum insertion loss.
- What is included in the package?
The product is a 6-pack in a black housing, ready for deployment across multiple ports or projects.
