Product Overview
LC Boot is part of the accessories range built by Ever Expresslink Limited in Ningbo, China. It is built on the LC (Lucent Connector) interface.
Small form-factor transceivers are built around it, so LC is what a data-center or an access switch presents to you whether you wanted it or not. The latch is small and breaks if the cord is pulled sideways out of a dense panel. Use a boot or a push-pull tab on panels packed to 48 ports and above.
It is one of 11 items in this range. A typical application is polishing connectors on an assembly bench. What the range is built to give you there: one order covers hardware and the consumables that go with it.
The problem it addresses is jobs halted because a consumable ran out mid-shift. A practical note that applies across this range: restock van kits on a schedule rather than when they run out. Specifications for a particular configuration are confirmed on the quotation rather than assumed from the designation.

Questions About LC Boot
What do you need from us to quote LC Boot?
The quantity, the destination and anything that has to match on your side: connector and polish at each end, fiber mode and core size, and length where the item is an assembly. If you are matching a part you already buy, send the sample and we will quote against it.
Can LC Boot be supplied with a different connector interface?
Yes. LC (Lucent Connector) is what this designation carries, and the same family is stocked across the other mainstream connector standards. Tell us the port you have to mate with and we will confirm the equivalent part.
Can consumables be ordered in bulk pack quantities?
Yes, and that is usually the sensible way to buy them. Tell us your monthly consumption and we will quote the pack size and price break that fits.
Do you supply polishing film for assembly benches?
Yes, including the grit grades used in standard connector polishing sequences. Tell us your process and ferrule type and we will confirm the grades.
Can accessories be private labeled?
Yes, on volume orders, which is common for distributors supplying their own branded installation kits.
