The MT-RJ connector accommodates two fibers. One fiber carries the
transmit signal and the other fiber carries the receive signal. The cable is a
3-mm (1/8-inch) jacketed fiber-optic cable with two strands of single-mode
fiber in it. See the figure "Cable assembly with an MT-RJ fiber connector and
a duplex SC connector" (page 334). Ensure that the manufacturer of the cable
identifies which SC connector is to transmit and which is to receive.
