See the table below for the major specifications and appearances of the commonly used LC/PC and
SC/PC optical fiber connectors. When the equipment is mounted in a 300 mm-deep cabinet, it is
advisable to use short optical fiber connectors.

Open corrugated pipes should not be overloaded with optical fibers. An open corrugated pipe
with a diameter of 32 mm should carry no more than 60 optical fibers with a diameter of 2 mm.
It is recommended that the part of a corrugated pipe inside a cabinet should be about 10 cm
long.
Arrange the corrugated pipes outside a cabinet according to the conditions of the equipment
room.
