Well, the job lot box of doom is here and I now have a lot of weird fiber patch cables (Like lots of SM APC SC-SC), including the first actual case I've seen MTRJ with my own eyes, some old 1995 to mid 2000's connector

I guess these are all either future victims of a yet to be imagined art thing or fusion splicer target practice

A orange fiber cable with what looks like 2 coax BNC connectors at one end, and the other end has this thin black molded connector with 2 small holes next to it

@benjojo I still have MTRJ in production, on 3Com SuperStack switches 🫣

@benjojo aren't those ST connectors? I think we still have some unused ST patch panels with 62.5um multimode fiber at work because removing them is more of a bother than leaving them as they are

@_hic_haec_hoc yeah the one picture is ST to MTRJ, but the box has loads and loads of APC SC's
