Collimator Adapter LC Type
The collimator adapter LC type is the ideal solution for high-density optical systems where space is a premium. By utilizing the compact LC interface—half the size of standard SC connectors—it allows for significantly more collimation points in a limited footprint, making it the go-to choice for modern, miniaturized optical modules.

Features
Small Form Factor (LC): Optimized for high-density integration. It allows you to pack more optical paths into a smaller chassis or PCB without sacrificing performance.
Full-Band Versatility: Operates flawlessly across the 1260nm to 1620nm range, supporting all major telecommunication bands (O, E, S, C, L).
Bespoke Beam Sizing: We provide custom beam size (μm) adjustments to ensure the output perfectly matches your specific micro-detectors or sensor apertures.
Typical Applications
Compact Module Integration: Perfect for integrating free-space optics into SFP-style transceivers or miniature sensing probes.
Multi-Channel Testing: Ideal for high-density test fixtures where dozens of LC-terminated fibers need to be collimated simultaneously in a tight space.
Miniature LiDAR & Sensors: A critical component for handheld or drone-based LiDAR systems where every millimeter and gram counts.
Technical Highlights: Precision in a Small Package
Near-Zero Loss: With an insertion loss of ≤ 0.3dB, this adapter ensures your power budget remains intact even in complex, multi-stage optical paths.
Refined Protection: A return loss of ≥ 50dB acts as a high-end barrier, shielding your sensitive laser sources from destabilizing back-reflections.
Why Choose Us?
The challenge with LC-sized adapters is maintaining beam pointing stability due to the smaller ferrule size. Our LC Collimator Adapter features a reinforced internal alignment sleeve that guarantees the beam axis remains rock-solid, even after hundreds of mating cycles.
Ordinary manufacturers provide standard partitions. Hobbite offers precision beam engineering in a miniature footprint. We tailor the collimator to your specific beam waist requirements, allowing you to shrink your system size while maximizing coupling efficiency.
