Fiber cable connectors lc sc.
A variety of optical fiber connectors are available but sc and lc connectors are the most common types of connectors on the market.
From left to right.
Actually one sc adapter is exactly the same size as a duplex lc adapter.
While they do bear some similarities each kind has a different enough size and shape that they are not interchangeable.
And generally speaking the difference between lc and sc fiber optic connector lies in the size the handling and the connector history which will be discussed respectively in the following text.
At the same time the demand for fiber optic connectivity devices such as the subscriber connector sc and lucent connector lc is escalating due to a massive growth in high bandwidth communication and data services.
Typical connectors are rated for 500 1 000 mating cycles.
Fc lc sc and st fiber optic cables utilize a few different connectors that can be used to terminate the cable.
Lc is half the size of sc.
