Frequently asked questions
Common questions about OPTICAM from 3G Electric.
What fiber types are OPTICAM LC connectors available for?
OPTICAM LC connectors are offered for OS1 single-mode fiber (blue housing, simplex configuration) and OM2 multimode fiber (black housing, duplex configuration). The OM4 variant is available as a strain relief boot (aqua) rather than a connector. For OM2 duplex applications, the FLCDMC5BLY connector is used. Always match the connector to the fiber cable's core/cladding diameter and modal bandwidth to maintain system performance.
Are OPTICAM cleaning swabs suitable for all connector types?
The OPTICAM FSWB-C cleaning swabs are designed for fiber optic termination kits and are intended for cleaning ferrule end-faces. They are not connector-specific but are effective for LC, SC, and other common connector types when used with appropriate cleaning tools. The 100-pack quantity supports field maintenance. For best results, follow the manufacturer's instructions and use with a compatible cleaning fluid if recommended.
What is the pack size for OPTICAM strain relief boots?
OPTICAM strain relief boots, such as the FMCBT2AQ-X model, are sold in a 10-pack. Each boot is color-coded aqua for OM4 fiber identification and is compatible with simplex LC connectors. The boots provide mechanical strain relief at the connector-to-cable junction, reducing stress on the fiber during handling and installation.
Can OPTICAM connectors be used in outdoor or harsh environments?
OPTICAM connectors are standard indoor-grade fiber optic connectors without specified IP ratings or environmental sealing. They are suitable for controlled indoor environments such as data centers, telecom rooms, and office cabling. For outdoor or industrial applications, additional protective enclosures or ruggedized connectors should be considered.
How do I identify the correct OPTICAM connector for my fiber type?
OPTICAM connectors are color-coded: blue for single-mode (OS1), black for multimode (OM2), and aqua for OM4 (boots only). The connector housing color indicates the fiber type per industry convention. Additionally, simplex vs. duplex configuration must match your cable and equipment. Verify the fiber class (OS1, OM2, OM4) and connector type (LC) before ordering.
