Secure/Keyed LC Optimax
The Secure/Keyed LC Optimax field installable
connectors, are part of the Belden IBDN
FiberExpress Secure/Keyed LC System.
Features & Benefits
> 6 physically discreet, color-coded keying
options — provide design flexibility and
facilitate network administration
The FiberExpress Secure/Keyed LC System allows
for physical segregation of networks segments
in secure fiber cabling infrastructure. The various
components offered in this system allow network
managers to design and build very efficiently a
secure network with restricted access to sensitive
information to specific users only.
AX102197 Secure/Keyed LC Optimax
> Tamper-resistant key design — prevents
intruder access
> Uses the same inexpensive tool kit as for
regular Optimax LC installation — facilitating
logistics and material ordering
> All Optimax Multimode 50 µm connectors
contain a Laser-Optimized fiber stub
(FX2000 fiber) and are also backward
compatible with the FX600 series 50 µm
fiber types
The Secure/Keyed LC Optimax are available
with 6 different keying options each carrying
a different color to facilitate network adminis-
tration. The keying detail inside the connector
is totally tamper-resistant and cannot be
re-produced inside a standard LC connector
to violate the network security. All other
physical requirements comply with the FOCIS
10 standard and optical performance exceeds
all industry standards for SFF connectors.
> No polishing required — saves installation
time and the cost of polishing paper
Secure/Keyed LC Optimax – components
> No epoxy required — saves installation time,
no oven required, safe to use, no power
required, saves cost of epoxy
> Pre-radiused PC ceramic ferrule — ensures
contact with optical fibers, improves
durability, provides high performance
The connectors are available in multimode 50 µm
laser-optimized and 62.5 µm fiber versions.
> Unlimited shelf life — unlike epoxy products
which have a tendency to dry out if left on
the shelf too long
About the Optimax: the Optimax Connectors
are reliable field installable optical fiber
connectors that are easy to install. They do not
require epoxy, curing or polishing. Their unique
design incorporates a factory polished fiber
stub in a splice mechanism which provides a
fast, secure, and reliable termination on optical
fiber cables. All critical steps are performed in
the factory, ensuring a superior-quality
connection every time. Only simple tools are
required for installation, making Optimax a
cost effective field termination.
> Easy connection to learn — Optimax training
video on CD offers efficient and consistent
training for field services personnel.
The Optimax Optical Fiber Field Installable
Connectors are high-quality connectors that
use a ceramic ferrule with a physical contact
(PC) polish for Multimode connectors.
