252.0. "FC-PC Connectors (w/SMF)" by JAYJAY::KORNS () Mon May 06 1991 14:25

I understand from the Feb 4th Sales Update on SMF cards that the cards 
use FC-PC style connectors rather than MIC or ST connectors. Two questions:

	1) Is the FC-PC style connector what is usually used to 
		terminate a piece of dark fiber?

	2) Do we sell fiber cables with FC-PC on both ends? If so
		what are the part numbers? 

	3) What is the MIC connector (is that the technical name for
		the FDDI connector?

	> 1) Is the FC-PC style connector what is usually used to > terminate a piece of dark fiber? FC/PC was identified as the preferred connector in singlemode installations. That is why it was chosen. > 2) Do we sell fiber cables with FC-PC on both ends? If so > what are the part numbers? No. However, they are available from Anixter. The part numbers are listed in an appendix of the DEFCN Singlemode Option Card Installation guide. > 3) What is the MIC connector (is that the technical name for > the FDDI connector? MIC = Media Interface Connector. It is the fixed-shroud duplex connector specified by the multimode PMD standard.

	Does this mean that on the SMF Module in the DECconcentrator 500 has FC-PC connectors and the MIC connector is not used. Does any one have a part number for the FC-PC to FC-PC Patch Cord? What if the customer terminated the SMF with ST connectors? Will this increase the budget? Does Digital stock a part with ST to FC-PC connectors? Enuff questions, Dave

	>Does this mean that on the SMF Module in the DECconcentrator 500 has >FC-PC connectors and the MIC connector is not used. For the SMF connections, yes. (The Port Module has two SMF connections and two MMF connections. The MIC is used for the MMF connections.) FC/PC is also used in the SMF variants of DECbridge 500/600 Series. >Does any one have a part number for the FC-PC to FC-PC Patch Cord? Anixter p/n for 3m length (duplex) is FCFC3. >What if the customer terminated the SMF with ST connectors? >Will this increase the budget? No. Connector losses for both types are similar. >Does Digital stock a part with ST to FC-PC connectors? No. Anixter p/n for 3m length (duplex) is FCST3.
