The Lucent Connector (LC) type interface was developed by Lucent Technologies (hence, Lucent Connector). It uses a push-pull mechanism. LC connectors are normally held together in a multimode duplex configuration with a plastic clip.
These cables are usually colored orange for OM2 multimode optical fiber type cables, aqua for OM3 multimode optical fiber type cables, and yellow for single mode optical fiber type cables. The multimode cables have the duplex connectors encased in a gray plastic covering. The single mode cables are encased in a blue plastic covering.
To determine the send or transmit (TX) and receive (RX) ferrules (connector ends), these cables will show a letter and numeral (for example A1 and A2 for the TX and RX, respectively) or a white and yellow rubber gasket (jacket) for the send or transmit (TX) and receive (RX) ends. Figure 1 shows an example of LC-type connectors.
