Lucent Connector, a small-form-factor push-and-latch connector with a 1.25 mm ferrule and a housing about half the size of an SC. Duplex LC clips two together for transmit and receive, matching the port spacing of SFP and QSFP transceivers. Its density made it the default connector for enterprise and data center patching.
Transceiver is LC duplex but the panel is SC, so I need LC to SC jumpers, singlemode, two meter.
Squeeze the latch, then pull: yanking on the cable is how latches snap off and boots slide back.
