Topic: What MADI cable to connect Ferrofish Pulse 16mx to RME UFX III?

I just browsed thomman for madi cables and I noticed there are three variants, SC to SC, SC to LC and LC to LC.
So which one do I need to make the Ferrofish to RME connection?

SC to LC, simply compare the plug types.

Get a duplex cable, I would stick to one cable type, either OM3 or OM4 multimode cables.

For transferring audio there is no difference, only for high-speed connections in a datacenter, OM4 allows longer cable length at higher transfer speeds.

If you have "green field" use OM4, the violet color looks nice and the is good to differentiate from other cables and prices are about the same.

The Ferrofish unit comes with the cable in the carton.
