LC Connector
These connectors utilize the familiar RJ-45 style latching mechanism. As a small form
factor (SFF) connector, the LC connector is almost half the size of the popular SC
connector. With accelerated growth demanding greater bandwidth in less physical
space, LC connectors have emerged as a viable solution for high density frames and
patch panels.

SB-TP-2204
SB-TP-2204 4 port Gigabit Ethernet Switch with two 10/100/1000M UTP ports and two
1000M SFP sockets. The end users can use different SFP module according to his
requirement, for example: 1000Base-T, 1000Base-SX, 1000Base-LX etc. The product
is possessed of stable performance, excellent quality and reasonable price because of
adopting latest IC from USA and high quality of transceivers. It is applicable to use in
small patterns of Optical Fiber Ethernet.
Key features
Two RJ45 ports and two SFP sockets, it can convert Optical - Electric Ethernet
signals between 10/100/1000M UTP ports and 1000M optical ber ports and
switch Ethernet signals between port and port.
Auto negotiation function supports UTP ports to auto 10/100/1000M and Full
Duplex/Half Duplex.
Broadcast storm protection
Supports VLAN and QoS
Supports the max 1536 bytes frame

The following is the simple inner structure for the two kinds of Hand Held Fiber
Microscope (CL-Series & OL-Series):
How to choose between the CL-Series and the OL-Series?

Both series of our Hand Held Fiber Microscope (CL-Series and OL-Series) provide
excellent views of the ferrule end face. We recommend 400x magnication for singlemode and 200 x magnications for multi-mode:
1. If you frequently terminate ber and have received professional training, you are
probably best served by our CL-Series microscope.
2. If you only occasionally terminate ber, and are unsure, you might consider the
OL-Series.
