LC versus SCIdentify the optical connector family; verify fiber and end-face polish independently.LC fiber connector · SC fiber connector CompactFlash versus CFastSimilar names refer to different card families.CompactFlash Type I card interface · CFast card interface ST, SC and LC fiber formsIdentify exterior form only; no optical compatibility result.ST fiber connector · SC fiber connector · LC fiber connector OSFP versus QSFP-DD host formsWhich pluggable-I/O host form does the equipment documentation identify? Connector-family identity is only the first layer; implementation-specific electrical and protocol requirements still need exact documentation.OSFP host connector form · QSFP-DD host connector / cage form CFP2 versus CFP4 host formsIs the pluggable host connector the 104-position CFP2 form or the 56-position CFP4 form? Connector-family identity is only the first layer; implementation-specific electrical and protocol requirements still need exact documentation.CFP2 host connector form · CFP4 host connector form M8, M12 and M23 circular familiesWhich circular shell family and coding does the exact equipment specify? Connector-family identity is only the first layer; implementation-specific electrical and protocol requirements still need exact documentation.M8 A-coded 4-position connector · M12 A-coded 5-position connector · M23 12-position signal connector opticalCON DUO versus QUADDoes the fiber system specify opticalCON DUO or QUAD, and how many optical channels are documented? Connector-family identity is only the first layer; implementation-specific electrical and protocol requirements still need exact documentation.opticalCON DUO 2-fiber connector system · opticalCON QUAD 4-channel fiber connector system SMPTE 304M camera connector versus opticalCON DUO SMPTEDoes the camera link require the SMPTE 304M connector family or the distinct opticalCON DUO SMPTE system? Connector-family identity is only the first layer; implementation-specific electrical and protocol requirements still need exact documentation.LEMO 3K.93C SMPTE 304M HDTV camera connector · opticalCON DUO SMPTE camera-link cable system LEMO broadcast 75-ohm versus 00 NIM-CAMAC 50-ohm triaxIs the documented interface a 75-ohm broadcast triax form or the 50-ohm LEMO 00 NIM-CAMAC form? Impedance and series identity are not interchangeable.LEMO 3T 75-ohm broadcast triax connector · LEMO 00 NIM-CAMAC 50-ohm triax connector FC vs ST fiber connectorsDistinguish the documented FC key/adapter arrangements from the ST bayonet example. A hybrid sleeve does not settle polish, fiber type or optical loss.FC fiber connector · ST fiber connector CFast versus CFexpress Type BSATA CFast is not PCIe/NVMe CFexpress. Check the full card and reader names before checking performance.CFast card interface · CFexpress Type B card interface JST PH vs JST XH familyManufacturer nominal pitches differ (2.0 mm PH and 2.5 mm XH). Similar white housings are not interchangeable by eye; verify exact part-code pairs.JST PH wire-to-board connector family · JST XH wire-to-board connector family JST SH vs JST GH familySH is nominal 1.0 mm and friction-lock; GH is nominal 1.25 mm with a secure-lock design. Mating still depends on the exact housing and header.JST SH miniature wire-to-board connector family · JST GH secure-lock wire-to-board connector family

Discovery is not a compatibility verdict.

These discovery surfaces route and reorganize facts already represented in the atlas. They do not add electrical ratings, universal pinouts, measured tolerances, exact-device support, wiring approval or an end-to-end compatibility result.
