[AusNOG] Cisco 3750-X with 1000BASE-LX/LH dual SC circuits

[James Mcintosh]

I know about SC to LC patch cables but the SC has two fibers one for RX and one for TX whereas the LC only has one fiber? Is there such a thing a dual SC to single LC patch?

Hi,
So, you're getting delivered SC and you want to plug those into LC?

If you're getting SC "female" then just buys some SC-LC SM patch cables.  Otherwise just buy some SC-SC joiners plus SC-LC patch cables.  

Your normal fibre dealer should be able to provide.
