Optical port modules typically use LC interfaces
SFP/SFP+ and QSFP modules typically present LC duplex interfaces. Many PON OLT/ONT ports use SC-APC. Some test sets still ship with ST ports. Before ordering, check the module faceplate and specify fiber optic assemblies with matching connector types and polish. Switch optical modules, which convert electrical signals to optical signals and vice – versa, and optical interfaces, which serve as the physical connection points, play a pivotal role in determining the speed, distance, and reliability of data transmission. Even as 400G/800G parallel-optics and MPO-based high-density solutions grow, LC remains essential for 10G/25G/50G/100G/200G/400G duplex. In data center and communication network construction, optical modules, as core components for photoelectric signal conversion, directly determine equipment compatibility and transmission performance through their interface types.
