Siemon G2 LC ruggedised fibre adapters and Category 6 UTP patch cords

Siemon has announced the expansion of its ruggedised connectivity for harsh environments, including ruggedised G2 LC fibre adapters and Category 6 UTP patch cords.

The Gen2 (G2) ruggedised LC adapters combine Siemon’s LC fibre connectivity with durable IP66/IP67 ruggedised shells to provide a fibre connectivity solution for harsh environments. Like the current G2 ruggedised Z-MAX copper outlets, the G2 ruggedised LC adapters are inserted from the front with the locking nut positioned behind the faceplate. This allows the use of an aggressive locking nut that is easier to fully tighten without the use of tools. Compatible with all Siemon ruggedised surface mount boxes and ruggedised stainless steel faceplates, the G2 ruggedised LC adapters are available in both bulkhead and inline (coupler) options to support installation in a wide range of environments. A G2 ruggedised outlet dust cap is also available for protecting unused outlets following installation.

All ruggedised LC adapters now feature ceramic alignment sleeves that provide a tighter tolerance for optimum core-to-core alignment when mating.

Siemon’s ruggedised Category 6 UTP patch cords are constructed using a flame-retardant thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) outer jacket over a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) inner jacket that allows for a 60% greater temperature range than standard commercial-grade cords. They are available with a ruggedised IP66/IP67 plug on one end and either a ruggedised IP66/IP67 or standard modular RJ45 plug on the other end. They combine a -40 to 75°C temperature range, high flex construction, oil-resistant jacket and an indoor/outdoor rating.
