1. INTRODUCTION
LightCrimp Plus SC simplex ber optic connector kits
are designed to be applied to ber optic cable. The
connectors are used with singlemode or multimode
125-- m m glass ber cable. These kits can be used
with any of the following media (paragraph of
assembly procedure is indicated next to media).
5.1. 900-mm Bare Bu ered Fiber
5.2. 250-mm Coated Fiber
5.3. 2.5- to 3.0- mm Loose Jacketed Cable
NOTE: Any jacketed cable used with SC connectors
must allow for the axial movement of the bu ered
ber in the jacket which occurs when the connector is
mated to another connector or device. Certain cable
constructions do not allow axial movement and are
not suitable for use with SC connectors. Refer to
Inspection Speci cation 129--1496 for a method of
determining whether a given cable construction allows
axial movement (result of the bu er pull test).
