An IT technician is installing additional fiber runs in a new wing of the office. The existing patch panels in both telecom closets use connectors that are square and lock into place with a simple push-pull action. Which type of connector should be terminated on the new duplex multimode patch cables so they can plug directly into these panels?
The square body and push-pull (snap-in) coupling mechanism identify the Subscriber Connector (SC). Cables equipped with SC connectors will mate properly with the square SC bulkheads on the patch panels. LC connectors use a smaller form factor and RJ-45-style latch, ST connectors are round and lock with a bayonet twist, and FC connectors secure with a threaded screw-on nut-none of which will fit an SC interface.
