A network technician is tasked with installing a fiber optic cable connection for a new high-density network device. The interface on the device requires a connector type noted for its small form factor and locking tab design. Which connector should the technician select to ensure compatibility?
The correct choice is the Local connector (commonly abbreviated as LC) which is known for its small form factor and locking tab mechanism, making it suitable for high-density applications such as data centers. Other connectors like SC, ST, and MPO have different physical designs and mechanisms which might not be compatible with the device requiring a small form factor and locking tab.
