Connector Profiles
_
LC – Lucent Connector
The Lucent Connector, sometimes referred to as the Little Connector, is a small form factor FOC that uses a 1.25 mm ferrule. The LC has good performance and is highly favored because of it’s small footprint.
Optical Transceiver Applications
• SFP
• SFP+
• XFP
• SFP28
• QSFP+
• QSFP28
SC – Subscriber Connector
SC connectors use a ceramic ferrule to deliver accurate alignment. The SC connector comes with a locking tab that enables push on & pull off operation. These connectors are simple, rugged, and low cost.
Optical Transceiver Applications
• GBIC
• XenPak
• X2
• GPON
MTP Connector
MTP/MPO (Multi-fiber Push On) is a connector for ribbon cables with four to twenty-four fibers. Connectors for singlemode fiber have angled ends (APC) to minimize back-reflection, while multimode fiber versions typically have flat ends.
Optical Transceiver Applications
• QSFP+
• QSFP28
