The TE Connectivity 6828094-1 is an LC simplex multimode fiber optic plug designed for field termination on 2.0 mm jacketed cable. It is the simplex variant of the LC connector family, carrying one multimode fiber per connector body. The beige boot and housing are standard for multimode LC, and the plug ships with a dust cap and integrated strain relief — no separate boot or cap to source for the termination. The zirconia ferrule and polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) body give it the mechanical stability for repeated patch-panel use.
Optical performance and cable fit
Rated at -30 dB reflection (return loss) and -0.75 dB typical attenuation, the 6828094-1 meets the loss budget for standard multimode links at 850 nm and 1300 nm. The 2.0 mm cable diameter is the jacket size the strain relief grips — match your cable to this diameter for the boot to seal and the latch lock to engage fully. The free-hanging (in-line) mounting and latch lock fastening suit it for patch cords and panel-to-equipment jumpers where the connector is not panel-mounted.
Durability and field handling
Rated for 300 mating cycles, the zirconia ferrule and PPSU body hold alignment through repeated connects and disconnects in a patch panel or test setup. The dust cap protects the ferrule end-face when the plug is unmated — a cap is included in the bagged package. The strain relief is integrated into the boot, so the cable jacket is clamped at the connector exit point, reducing bend stress at the ferrule interface.
