SC (Square Connector).

OK thank you, are there any modules for this?

Example the 2510 procurve switch?

Thanks Again

Hi Shane,

The 2510 supports only mini-GBIC (SFP) modules, so you'll need to get an SC-LC cable to replace your SC-SC cable.  These can be had cheaply from most cable suppliers.

Alright thanks for your help :)

Our apprentice who is currently doing a lot of book-study tells me it's actually called a "Subscriber Connector".

Its known by quite a few names. Pick one that you'll recognize ;). In Swedish its quite easy since our words for Big (Stor) and Small (Liten) fits well in with the SC and LC abbreviations.

How I remind it is fairly simple...

SC would be Small and LC would be Large but it is the other way around... Since SC is the largest connector and LC the smallest...

BTW for the official naming: LC comes from Lucent and SC comes from Siemens connectors...
