Trace 25 claims to their source records
C066A · P066
Corning lists LC fiber connections in both UPC and APC variants. Connector family and end-face polish are separate identification requirements.
Claim scope: Named standard or manufacturer description only; procedural checks are editorial recommendations, not hardware tests.
Source links: S049 · S050 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C066C · P066
Fluke Networks distinguishes APC and UPC endfaces and warns against directly mating the two polishes because the ferrules do not align properly and damage can result. A hybrid cord whose two ends each match their respective ports is a different question.
Claim scope: V121 named-product or explicitly scoped manufacturer distinction only; no wiring instruction, independent engineering approval or end-to-end compatibility guarantee.
Source links: S504 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C066D · P066
Corning’s 2018 UniCam ordering table distinguishes the single-mode LC UPC part 95-200-99 from LC APC part 95-200-94.
Claim scope: Those two dated order-code rows only; an LC shell or its color does not select a polish or establish a link.
Source links: S529 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C066E · P066
Corning lists a trigger, crimp band and three boot options in the package contents for UniCam LC kit 95-200-99.
Claim scope: Package components for that product record, not a guarantee that every loose or assembled LC connector has those parts. Boot sizes are not imported as connector dimensions.
Source links: S534 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C066F · P066
Corning’s OEM guide identifies 740-0085-006-B as a duplex LC/LC adapter with an SC cutout.
Claim scope: Printed page 15. SC describes the listed panel cutout; the listed optical connector interfaces are LC/LC. No panel dimensions or mating approval inferred.

C067D · P067
Belden distinguishes the slightly curved, non-angled UPC endface from the angled APC endface and warns against directly mating the unlike endfaces.

Source links: S532 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C067E · P067
Corning lists a shroud, crimp band and two boot options in the package contents for UniCam SC kit 95-200-41.

Fluke distinguishes a radiused UPC endface from an APC endface angled at 8 degrees, and warns that directly mating the two can degrade the connection and damage the endfaces.
Claim scope: Article dated 2018-10-11; direct physical-contact mating, not a color-only identification rule.
Source links: S422 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C136D · P136
Fluke separately documents a non-contact CertiFiber Pro input that accepts APC or UPC, with a UPC output and suitable hybrid test cords.
Claim scope: Named instrument example; this is not permission to press unlike-polish endfaces together or a rule for other test ports.
Source links: S422 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C337A · P337
Corning lists LC PC duplex connector code 0505 and the ZR4 OM4 cable option in the LC Duplex Jumper in a Box ordering section. PC is the source label; this reference does not relabel it UPC.
Claim scope: LAN-3921-AEN revision 2025-03-03, page 6; selected LC duplex / ZR4 option, not all Corning assemblies.
Source links: S432 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C337B · P337
The selected Corning Jumper in a Box reference belongs to the two-fiber patch-cord family. Its ordering section requires separate choices for cable/fiber, length and packaging; it does not identify one measured or purchased cord.
Claim scope: Pages 1 and 6; no selected SKU, fixed length, duplex mapping or actual product availability is asserted.
Source links: S432 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C338A · P338
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.
Claim scope: LAN-3921-AEN revision 2025-03-03, page 2; selected 78/78/G family option.
Source links: S432 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C338B · P338
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.
Claim 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.
Source links: S432 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C338C · P338
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.
Claim scope: End-to-End Duplex Polarity and How to Check Duplex Polarity; no optical power, detector or complete channel qualification is established.
Source links: S435 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C339A · P339
Vericom identifies ordering pattern PC1A2U1118RYEXXM as an OS2 LC/UPC simplex to SC/APC simplex patch cord. The endpoint polishes describe different ends of one assembly, not unlike polishes pressed together at one joint.
Claim scope: REV.20260128.8, page 2 ordering row. XX is the selected length field; no length is chosen here.
Source links: S433 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C339B · P339
The Vericom specification states simplex construction with one fiber and single-mode OS2 (G.652.D) fiber. These are independent of the LC and SC connector-family names.
Claim scope: REV.20260128.8, page 1 Construction; no optical wavelength, equipment protocol or link budget is inferred.
Source links: S433 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
C339C · P339
The Vericom product page includes generic A–B/changeable-polarity wording, while the linked specification identifies a one-fiber simplex assembly. This reference leaves that mapping unresolved rather than using the wording as a two-fiber crossover instruction.
Claim scope: Comparison of product 7477 Description and REV.20260128.8 Construction; an explicit unresolved wording issue, not independent manufacturer clarification.
Source links: S433 · S434 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)
