Your picture is an SC connector for one fiber. and yes, they are a bit obsolete (but still in use in many places). Your best bet is to buy some used equipment that has SC connectors. It will work fine and be significantly cheaper. You will need to use two fibers (one for each direction) out of the bundle. If you go with media converters (cheapest option) you only need one on each end. You will plug two fibers into each converter. | |

I have uploaded a picture of the connector, i.imgur.com/EuQ2IDf.jpg i.imgur.com/6vAxeJC.jpg Also, do I really need to use all of the 8 connectors, from the pictures it would seem that the LC media converters hold a pair of those connectors each.. 4 Mediaconverters on each end sounds like a lot o.O Also, thanks for the help Ron, its really appreciated! | |
