<p class="MsoNormal">Hi there all,<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">While looking through my big box of random optics I suddenly realized that I'd never seen a GBIC with an LC connector, and I started wondering if anyone else had / if such a thing actually exists.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yes, I realize that this would be a fairly niche device - if you arrived somewhere with a device that took GBICs and there was existing fiber with LC connectors you could just replace the patch cable or use an LC-SC convertor, but that
doesn't really satisfy my curiosity.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">A quick look through the GBIC MSA / SFF documentation implies that such a thing *could* probably exist (there is a defined value for the 'LC' connector), but I wasn't able to actually find any. It might not actually be compliant with the
specs (the document I found only lists SC fiber or copper (coax with BNC, TNC or DB-9?!)), but that doesn't mean that no-one made them.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, has anyone seen a regular (30mm/1.2") GBIC with LC connectors? And, if so, "pics or it didn't happen"... :-)<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Obviously I don't have an actual use for this, it's just to satisfy my (OCD) curiosity...<o:p></o:p></p>
