OCC introduces a new Secure LC fiber optic connector designed to provide an extra layer of secure access to network ports. The secure LC connectors utilize a special extraction tool to help prevent unauthorized release of the connector from the network panel. This added level of protection is ideal for military and government applications, as well as in data centers that require additional security against tampering. The connectors include secure LC patch cables available in eight color options, extraction tools, and port plugs. The connectors install easily in any industry-standard LC fiber adapter. Patch cables are available in a multitude of configurations using OCC’s HD bend-insensitive cables, including multimode and single-mode options.
