The LC type interface was developed by Lucent Technologies (hence, Lucent
Connector). It uses a push-pull mechanism. LC connectors are normally held together
in a multimode duplex configuration with a plastic clip. These cables are usually
colored orange with the duplex connectors encased in a gray plastic covering. To
determine the send or transmit (TX) and receive (RX) ferrules (connector ends), these
cables will show a letter and numeral (for example A1 and A2 for the TX and RX,
respectively) or a white and yellow rubber gasket (jacket) for the send or transmit
(TX) and receive (RX) ends (Figure 21 on page 27).
