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.
