Optical Transceiver with LC Interface

In addition to the data rate, transmission distance, and wavelength in the selection of an optical transceiver, there is another factor is interface. When the type of jumper interface has been determined, the choice of optical transceiver interface is also very important. Except RJ45 interface for electrical port transceiver which connects by network cable, the others are LC, SC, and MPO.

The optical transceiver with LC interface is used most frequently. It connects with LC jumper which is divided into LC simplex and LC duplex. The LC simplex jumper is connected to the single-fiber transceiver and LC duplex is connected to dual-fiber transceiver. LC interface applies in 100M to 100G optical transceiver, mainly 100M SFP, 1.25G SFP, 10G SFP+, 25G SFP28, 40G QSFP+ and 100G QSFP28 optical transceivers.

Here are some part numbers.

The optical transceivers above are with LC interface, connect with LC duplex jumper. Make sure the fiber end face and optical module interface are clean before connecting, the dust plugs must be plugged to prevent the optical transceivers and jumpers from being polluted if not in use.
