Secure/Keyed LC Optimax
The Secure/Keyed LC Optimax field installable
connectors, are part of the Belden IBDN
FiberExpress Secure/Keyed LC System.
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.
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.
The connectors are available in multimode 50 µm
laser-optimized and 62.5 µm fiber versions.
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.
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.
Features & Benefits
>
6 physically discreet, color-coded keying
options — provide design flexibility and
facilitate network administration
>
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
>
No polishing required — saves installation
time and the cost of polishing paper
>
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
>
Unlimited shelf life — unlike epoxy products
which have a tendency to dry out if left on
the shelf too long
>
Easy connection to learn — Optimax training
video on CD offers efficient and consistent
training for field services personnel.

(32° to 140°F)
>
Tensile Load:
On jacketed fiber: 50 N
(5.1 Kg/11.2 lbs)
Installation Tips
>
Cleaving the fiber:
Optimax works like a mechanical splice
and is sensitive to the quality of
the fiber cleave
A light touch is all you need to score the
fiber and consequently cleave it
Always inspect the cleave with the
microscope: stripping and cleaving
should be redone if the fiber end is
chipped, crushed or at an angle
Make sure that the length of the bare
fiber is between 7.0 and 7.5 mm
(0.27 and 0.3 in.). Verify your measurement
using the installation card.
>
Pen mark: Always make a pen mark on
the fiber buffer before cleaving
>
Crimping the fiber: This step is necessary
to provide the mechanical strength
between the fiber and the connector
>
Installation on jacketed fiber: If the
termination of a breakout cable or dual
zip cord is contained in an enclosure,
follow instructions for terminating on
900 µm, it is sufficient, easier and quicker
than installation on jacketed fiber
>
Safety tips:
Always wear safety glasses
Dispose waste fiber properly in the waste
bottle.
>
Testing procedure: Use the proper test
method such as the one recommended
by ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B, TIA TSB-140 or
Belden IBDN acceptance testing notes.
