1555.0. "DEFPA-DA -> which connectors ?" by DECPRG::PRNET::Pilar () Fri Jan 20 1995 15:04

Hi,

One of our customers i going to buy DEFPA-DA PCI/FDDI cards. I'd like to 
which type of connectors are used (I have read somewhere in this conference 
about two type of MIC connectors). The second question is if we are able to 
sell him cables to connect DEFPA-DA to ST connectors.

Thank you in advance

    The DEFPA-AA (SAS MMF) and DEFPA-DA (DAS MMF) options use SC optics.
    
>>about two type of MIC connectors). The second question is if we are able to 
>>sell him cables to connect DEFPA-DA to ST connectors.
    
    I believe DECconnect will carry them soon.  See note 1423.3 for a list of
    suppliers, or check with the PM (George Nielsen) at DELNI::G_NIELSEN.
    We've purchased SC to ST connectors from outside vendors before, so I know
    they're commercially available.

1555.3SC connectors ????51488::SOHLMANJouko Sohlman , NIS Helsinki FinlandFri Feb 03 1995 05:2615
	Hello !

	I looked from the Networking Catalogue (winter 94-95).

	The text is talking about the duplex SC connectors for
	DEFPA-DA/AA, but in the picture of the adapters the connectors are
	shown as duplex FC!! (as far as I know).

	Look at the same Catalogue, there is also our new Turbo/ATM-
	adapter (DGLTA-FA) and it is using FC connectors, they look 
	pretty much the same as the connectors in the DEFPA-DA/AA!!

	Is it a typo?

    I don't know what "duplex FC" connectors are, but yes, we are using the
    same connectors as the GIGAswitch/ATM and ATM TurboCHANNEL adapter
    products.  I know them as "SC" connectors.  Perhaps Dick can post a reply
    explaining the difference?

1555.5FC == Single-modeNPSS::KIRKFri Feb 03 1995 12:419
    FC connectors have been used on our Single-mode products.  I am not aware
    of any of our multimode products that use FCs.  It's a simple hearing
    error to confuse 'SC' with 'FC'.
    
    I will look at the new Networks handbook.

1555.6Yes, that's it! A hearing error for SC/FC, sorry!51488::SOHLMANJouko Sohlman , NIS Helsinki FinlandMon Feb 06 1995 09:350
