LC connectors are small form factor fiber optic connectors designed for making fast connections in high-density applications. They are miniaturized version of the earlier SC fiber connector (50% smaller) and feature a square plastic housing with a 1.25mm ceramic ferrule. Like the SC, LC utilize a push-pull design, and they also have an anti-snag latch and retaining tab mechanism. Several other types of fiber optic connectors preceded the LC connector, but miniaturization in the telecommunications industry created a need for a smaller connector that would take up less room on high-density panels. The LC is the most common of the legacy optical interfaces used in high volume networking applications today.
