LC-Style Connector
An LC-style connector is a compact optical connector used primarily with 2 Gb Fibre
Channel devices. This connector can be fixed or pluggable, and is approximately half the
size of the SC-style connector. This connector provides a latching mechanism for easy
attachment and polarity. See
Figure B-3
for an example of an LC-style connector.
B.3.2.2.
SC-Style Connector
An SC-style connector is a standard connector for fibre optic cables. If a cable with the
SC-style connector is pulled, the tip of the connector does not move which prevent loss of
signal quality. See
Figure B-4
for an example of an SC-style connector.
