Fiber connectors

Two strands per connector, so 24 cores of fibre terminated to LC would have 12 connectors, for 12 circuits.

There are circumstances where it wouldn't be 12 circuits, but then you would be unlikely to use an LC connector.

Ok, so your saying a 24 strand fiber would have( total...both ends) 24 connectors....12 on each end???? THanks.

Yep.

Ummm... I take it this is multimode fiber, yes? 'cos if its single mode you need some specialist tools and stuff, and (without wishing to be rude) based on the questions asked so far, you'll need to get a specialist fiber joiner person in to do the work.

LC connectors are designed to be paired as mentioned above, but if you order an "LC connector" you'll usually get a single fiber strand termination. If you order a "duplex LC connector" you'll get two strand terminations. Simplex connectors can be turned into duplex connectors just by adding a clip, and nearly all (but not all) duplex LC connectors are simply simplex connectors with the clip pre-installed.

Ain't jargon great? ;-)

Mtrj

There is another connector that resembles an LC connector and that is a MTRJ connector. You have two strands into one connector and the connector has 2 small holes where both strands are coming out of. It was popular between 2004 and 2006 and seems to of faded away.
