Equipment direction and end-to-end Tx/Rx mapping are not resolved by a passive optical reference or by selecting its connector ends. Read the separate polarity field.
Corning Reverse Polarity Uniboot Duplex — LC UPC 78/78, OS2 G option: named-series evidence, not a selected SKU, length or inspected sample.
No separate coupling adapter is supplied by this reference.
No compatibility verdict. Different polishes at separate ends of a documented cord do not permit direct mating of unlike physical-contact polishes at one joint. Never look into a live fiber or port.

No protocol, data rate, wavelength or complete link budget is assigned. Resolve exact transceivers and the entire optical path.
Corning lists single-mode LC UPC uniboot code 78 for each end and the G single-mode OS2 fiber option in its reverse-polarity duplex patch-cord family. The uniboot carries two fibers in one cable.
Scope: LAN-3921-AEN revision 2025-03-03, page 2; selected 78/78/G family option. · review due 2027-01-06
Corning describes this reverse-polarity uniboot series as supplied in A–B polarity and changeable to A–A without tools. That factory state and changeability are series-specific, not a statement about an unidentified LC cord.
Scope: Page 2; Corning calls A–B flipped and A–A straight through. No current state of a used cord or universal LC polarity is inferred. · review due 2027-01-06
Fluke explains that a two-fiber duplex channel must connect each transmitter to the corresponding remote receiver across all intervening segments. It warns against looking directly into a port to identify a transmitting fiber.
Scope: End-to-End Duplex Polarity and How to Check Duplex Polarity; no optical power, detector or complete channel qualification is established. · review due 2027-01-06

Selected LC/LC OM4 PC duplex and LC UPC/LC UPC OS2 reverse-polarity uniboot options only.
Revision 2025-03-03; PDF pages 2 and 6 visually inspected. Page 2: reverse-polarity uniboot; page 6: LC duplex Jumper in a Box order options. · No inferred SKU, actual order availability, universal duplex polarity, connector dimensions or end-to-end reach. The filename and final-page footer differ from the repeated LAN-3921-AEN heading; the inspected revision and page locators are retained.
