10 GBE Cable for Internet Box 4

Running the Swisscom 10GBE at home. I am using the Swisscom provided cable from the ONT to Router.

End A of the cable looks to be standard LC/APC Connector (Green)

End B (Red end) of the cable I would like to get confirmed.

Is the Red connector SC/UPC?

@nickelnoff the red connector is a SC/UPC connector, which according to the standard should be blue, but Swisscom does not adhere to the international colour codes.

@Gaeilgeoir Thanks for confirming. Yes, red is such a lovely colour so why follow any standards...

@nickelnoff As far as I know, this has internal reasons, for a better differentiation with older cables (e.g. for the hotline), but could also have another reason 😀.
