A "12 SC cable" is a fiber optic cable that features 12 SC connectors, typically arranged in pairs, on each end of the cable. SC connectors are commonly used in fiber optic networks due to their simple push-pull mechanism and reliable performance. These cables are used for various applications, such as connecting patch panels, distribution frames, or other network devices. The 12 SC connectors allow for efficient and organized connectivity between networking equipment, facilitating the transmission of data over optical fibers.
