8536.70.00.00/LC Fiber Optic Connector/Japan

LC Fiber Optic Connector from Japan

The LC Fiber Optic Connector is a small form-factor connector used for terminating single-mode and multimode optical fibers in high-density networking environments. It features a latch mechanism for secure connections and is designed specifically for optical fiber cables, aligning precisely with the core fibers for low-loss signal transmission. This falls under HTS 8536.70.00.00 as a connector for optical fibers.

Import Tips

• Verify connector type and fiber compatibility (single-mode vs multimode) in documentation to match HTS description exactly

• Include test reports showing insertion loss <0.2dB and return loss >50dB to prove optical fiber specificity

• Avoid classifying as general electrical connectors (8536.69); specify optical use to prevent reclassification
