FIELD REFERENCE / FIBER
Recognize the end.
Verify the optical path.
A connector photograph answers only part of the question. Keep the named component, endface polish, pin state and complete path separate.
01 / IDENTITY
Which exact component?
Use a label or ordered part number. A family photograph is not a substitute.
02 / END CONDITION
Which documented interface?
Read polish, pin state and key requirements independently of body color.
03 / COMPLETE PATH
Where does the signal go?
Verify both endpoints and every intervening component before making a link claim.

MT-RJ has new exact-part evidence but no new physical study. LC and SC retain their inherited illustrations. No exact ordered physical part is delivered in this release. The detailed MTP PRO AEN-2102 document was not accessible without a contact form; it has not been reviewed, and no personal information was submitted.
Ten canonical claims and four new source records deepen six existing forms. Six auxiliary observations include revisits to the FC and optical-safety sources. Manufacturer drawings and photographs are not redistributed. All original studies await independent technical and rights review.
