• The PCI FDDI adapter uses SC connectors. In many networks, you
will be attaching the adapter to FDDI devices with MIC connectors.
Two 12-inch SC-MIC adapter cables are included so you can attach
the adapter to a MIC device using standard MIC-MIC cables.

• You can also connect the card to a MIC device directly, using SC-MIC
cables.
Figure 2-7 FDDI SC-SC Cable
• If you are attaching the PCI FDDI adapter to another device with SC
connectors, use SC-SC FDDI (62.5/125 micron) cables, preferably
keyed duplex cables (SC-Duplex). Each SC connector has two ports:
transmit and receive. The SC connectors on the adapter are keyed for
use with keyed duplex cables, which ensures that the cables are
connected with the correct transmit/receive pairings.
