The **FLCS-7F-R/Q** is a specific series of high-performance, small-form-factor connectors, typically utilized in high-speed data transmission and telecommunications equipment. These are often associated with **SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)** or **QSFP** cage assemblies and optical fiber interfaces. Below is a breakdown of the electronic and mechanical specifications for this component series. --- ### 1. General Specifications The "FLCS" designation often refers to **LC-type** fiber optic connectors integrated into electronic housing systems. | Attribute | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | LC Duplex (Standard) | | **Mounting Type** | Panel Mount / Cage Mount | | **Material** | Engineering Thermoplastic / Metal Shielding | | **Flammability Rating** | UL94V-0 | | **Application** | Fiber Optic Networking, SFP Modules | ### 2. Key Electronic & Physical Components The functionality of the FLCS-7F series revolves around the alignment of optical signals and electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection. * **Ferrule Assembly:** Usually made of Zirconia (Ceramic), ensuring high-precision alignment of the fiber cores to minimize **Insertion Loss (IL)**. * **Housing (R/Q variants):** * **"R" suffix:** Often indicates a **Rear-mount** configuration or a specific **RoHS** compliance standard. * **"Q" suffix:** Often denotes **Quick-release** mechanisms or specific **Quadrature** alignment features for high-density boards. * **EMI Shielding:** These parts often feature a metallic outer shroud or conductive gaskets to prevent noise leakage from the high-speed optical transceivers. ### 3. Performance Metrics | Metric | Typical Value | | :--- | :--- | | **Insertion Loss** | < 0.20 dB | | **Return Loss** | > 50 dB (UPC) / > 60 dB (APC) | | **Durability** | 500+ Mating Cycles | | **Operating Temperature** | -40°C to +85°C | --- ### 4. Typical Applications These parts are critical in environments where space is limited but data throughput is high: 1. **Data Centers:** Connecting switches to servers via LC fiber patches. 2. **Telecommunications:** Central office switching equipment. 3. **Industrial Automation:** High-speed backbone links in EMI-heavy environments.
