Visible clue: ST exterior and documented bayonet coupling
Still check: Keep connector identification separate from polish, fiber and equipment requirements.
P067 / Exterior side sketch
Plug-style exterior
Visible clue: Read the SC housing silhouette
Still check: Do not infer polish, fiber type or optical support from housing color.
