The picture above shows an APC simplex LC connector on the left and a UPC duplex LC connector on the right. LC is covered in the TIA connector intermateability. LC stands for a type of optical connector of which the full name is Lucent Connector. Originally developed by Lucent Technologies, the LC connector immediately became popular in telecom systems due to its compact size and secure latch mechanism. 25 mm ferrule - half the size. The LC interface is fiberoptic connector interface based on a 1.
[pdf] This Generic SFP-1G-LX compatible SFP module supports 1000BASE-LX/LH connectivity over single mode fiber cable (SMF). It supports a link distance of 10km to 20km on SMF fiber, or 550m on MMF fiber (need to be used along with mode conditioning patch cable). FS gigabit ethernet transceiver solutions provide fibre or copper options including 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX/LH, 1000BASE-T etc., from 100m to 160km, for 1G switches, routers, servers, NICs and other transmission equipment. This 1G SFP transceiver complies with SFP. The new Intellinet Network Solutions Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceiver provides the best combination of performance and affordability. Power Consumption CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT, IEC/EN 60825-1:2014 Do not look into the ends of the fiber optic cable or SFP module while converters are.
