As demand for ultra-fast, high-performance broadband continues to rise, delivering fiber all the way to the room (FTTR) or even to the desk (FTTD) is quickly becoming the new standard. To support this shift, Emtelle proudly introduces the LC-QR™ Drop Cable, a simple yet powerful innovation designed to make the transition from FTTH seamless, safe, and future-ready.
At the core of this solution is the LC-QR™ (Quick Release) connector, a patented design that combines the trusted performance of a standard LC interface with a unique safety feature. Its quick-release latch disengages under stress or accidental snagging, protecting both the cable and connected equipment from damage — crucial as more end-user devices now feature direct fiber interfaces.
Whether used in residential, commercial, or enterprise environments, the LC-QR™ connector ensures that accidental disconnections won’t result in costly or permanent damage, especially when connecting to LC ports.
Key Benefits
- Safe Connections: Automatically disconnects under strain to prevent damage to cables and device ports.
- High Optical Performance: Low insertion loss and excellent return loss for reliable connectivity.
- Flexible Applications: Ideal for FTTR, FTTD, in-home fiber drops, and CPE interconnects.
- Compact & Reliable: 3 mm ruggedized indoor cable; available in PC or APC configurations.
With the LC-QR™ Drop Cable, operators and installers can confidently upgrade existing FTTH networks to meet the demands of next-generation connectivity. It’s a smart, compact solution that brings fiber directly to where users need it most, enabling ultra-fast, ultra-safe broadband experiences.
