The Ridgemount LCv™ FEED is a simplex LC Venturi™ connector using the unique Ridgemount patented ferrule.
Designed for use with 0.6mm and 0.9mm optical fibres, it permits the connector body to be added after the ferrule has been terminated onto the fibre.
With a diameter of less than 3mm the ferrule can be fed through equipment holes and around intricate and confined spaces prior to the connector body being attached
