Optical backplane connector system minimises mechanical movement

Molex BLC™ LC Optical Backplane Connector System uses a standard LC interface to provide a smooth transition from the PCB mounted and pigtailed active devices to the optical backplane. The system consists of an optical backplane connector and adapter. The BLC LC connector system uses axial design which allows the connectors to self-align inside the adapter and provide physical contact. BLC LC connector system uses unique mechanical latching to provide isolation between the card and backplane and minimize the mechanical movement. BLC connectors provide a blind-mating interface through backplane BLC adapters with ceramic or metal sleeve adapters and standard LC input/output ports. The blind-mating interface provides easy insertion, removal or exchange of the daughtercard without disrupting the input/output ports and the associated cabling.
