Extron QLC SM/10 (part number 101-017-01) — a 10-pack of factory pre-polished, field-installable singlemode LC fiber optic connectors.

Each Quick LC connector arrives pre-polished with an internal pre-cleaved fiber stub and index-matching gel already installed, so a technician can terminate a run of Extron singlemode fiber cable in the field without a splice kit or polishing puck. A spring-loaded wedge clip snaps closed to confirm a successful termination when checked with a Visual Fault Locator, and each connector can be reused up to two times if a termination needs to be redone.

Key Capabilities

• 10 connectors per box, sized for the 8.3 µm singlemode fiber core
• Nominal insertion loss of 0.2 dB, 0.5 dB maximum per connector
• Compatible with the Extron Fiber Optic Termination Kit and cable sizes down to 250 µm

Where It Is Used

Integrators terminating Extron singlemode fiber runs on site — in equipment racks, cable trays, or long-haul telecom rooms — use these connectors to finish a fiber plant without sending cable out for factory termination, speeding up government, medical, and campus AV installs.
