A Strong, Reliable Connection
Establishing a new benchmark for durability, the LC-MAX Metal series introduces a ruggedised, all-metal bodied duplex LC connector. Delivering an enhanced version of the industry standard LC connector, it is the ideal solution when reliability is key. Developed exclusively for use with tactical, deployable fibre optic cable, it provides exceptional cable retention, at least 6x greater than that of a standard LC connector, ensuring strong, resilient connections.
The all-metal connector has been ruggedised by the inclusion of a metal body, latch and IP68 rated shell, offering greater protection against accidental damage during deployment, retrieval and storage. The metal cap and shell has been tested to IP68 standard, protecting the fibre connectors from dust and water ingress when the cap is on (read more about IP ratings here). Additionally, the streamline design of the shell casing ensures easy deployment and retrieval, whilst combating snagging issues.
A Durable, Lightweight Alternative
If you’re looking for a lighterweight option, the LC-MAX Lite range could be what you need. Offering many of the benefits of the LC-MAX Metal connector – retaining both ruggedness with metal bodied duplex LCs and 100% compatibility with standard LC sockets – but is housed within a lighter weight, ABS polymer shell.
100% Compatible with Standard LC Sockets
The ArmourLux500 LC-MAX Metal range is fully compatibility with standard LC sockets and equipment, meaning there’s no need for intermediary connection parts. Not only does this save on transportation of additional equipment, it also keeps costs down and allows you to quickly connect the fibre directly into your equipment and be ready to go!
Greater reliability in harsh environments
The ArmourLux500 range uses a tough, durable Miltac (Miltary Tactical) cable that tightly packs bend insensitive fibres in aramid yarn, ensuring minimal signal loss even if accidentally kinked. This robust, bend insensitive fibre cable are ideal for situations where space is at a premium.
