Notes
LC Fiber to Centronics 36-pin: While both carry data, network and legacy serial/parallel connectors use entirely different protocols. A serial-to-Ethernet converter exists as specialized equipment. The LC Fiber (Network) and Centronics 36-pin (Legacy Data) are from different connector families.
