A technician is terminating fiber patch cables for a data-center switch. The infrastructure standards call for a small-form-factor duplex connector so transmit and receive fibers can be plugged into adjacent ports while maximizing panel density. Which connector should the technician install?
The Lucent connector (LC) is a small-form-factor fiber connector that uses a 1.25 mm ferrule and is commonly supplied as a duplex assembly, allowing separate transmit and receive fibers in a single clip. Its compact size lets installers place dozens of duplex ports in limited rack space, making it the preferred choice in high-density data centers. SC and ST are larger or simplex fiber connectors, and RJ45 terminates copper twisted-pair cable rather than fiber.
