LC-QR™ Quick Release Connector

The LC-QR™ (Quick Release) Connector is a simplex LC interface designed with an integrated, patented front-body latch that automatically disengages from a standard LC adaptor when exposed to cable strain or accidental snagging. This protective mechanism helps prevent damage to both the fibre assembly and connected equipment, reducing maintenance costs and improving operational reliability.

Engineered for modern fibre networks, the LC-QR™ retains full compatibility with standard LC infrastructure while introducing an additional layer of mechanical protection in high-risk installation environments.
