LH8051C-ST, 100Mbps multi-mode FX-ST-type, “twist-lock” connector  

 

The LH8051C-ST is a multi-mode 100Mbps fiber optic module equipped with a dual 

ST-type connector. It functions as a fiber 

optics transceiver to support 100BASE-FX 

network segments. When installed in an 

LH8050A half-duplex hub, it supports fiber 

optic cable distances only up the IEEE-

specified 100Mbps shared-collision-domain 

distance limits, i.e., typically 200 meters.

The module is equipped with an 

Activity (A) LED, and a Link (L) LED 

which indicates proper connectivity with the remote device when lit. Lettering on the front of 

the module identifies it as “100 FX” to avoid confusion with other similar-looking  PMs.

 

 

5.2.1a 

LE8055C-ST, 10 Mbps multi-mode FL-ST-type, “twist-lock” connector  

The  LE8055C-ST is a multi-mode 10 Mbps fiber optic module equipped with a dual 

ST-type connector.  It looks similar to the 100Mbps  LH8051C-ST, but has the lettering “10 

Mb” on the front to distinguish it.

 

 

5.2.2 

LH8051C-SC 100Mbps multi-mode FX-SC-type, “snap-in” connector 

 

The LH8051C-SC is also a multi-mode 100Mbps fiber optic transceiver module, 

similar to the LH8051C-ST.  It has the 

same LEDs indicating port activity (A), 

and Link (L) operational, and the same 

face-plate lettering. While the 

functionality of the these two modules is 

the same, the LH8051C-SC is equipped 

with an  SC-type "snap-in" connector 

instead of an ST-type.
