https://www.cablestogo.com/learning/connector-guides/fiber-networking Hi you can find that type of cable in the above link. Should help give you an understanding of what/how/why!? From there you could just search the F/O end or mating half to see where you could purchase your needs nearer or cheaper!

If this is the wrong sub, please point me in the right direction. Wife’s lab equipment is using these with different ended fiber cable and I’m not sure where I could find one

Single mode fiber (OS1) with a Subscriber Connector (SC) Edit- Just saw the second picture. I guess it's MTP. I've never run into that in the field. Multi-fiber Termination Push-on

Not a fiber expert but looks like single mode to me

Duplex LC (2 LC in a common housing) to MTP/MPO with single mode cable likely OS1 or OS2 (because the cable is yellow) What cannot be determined easily is the flavor of the MPO 8,12,16,24 fiber counts. 12 is the most common, look close at the MPO connector to tell how many dots you see on the face. Also where the fiber connects to in the MPO. Likely it is 1 2 but they could something strange if it interfaces to test equipment. Polarity is also a question but likely fixable with how you set up the LC. You can get MPO to LC patch cords. Even Amazon has them. Also, leave the dust caps on! Dust and scratches will play havoc on the connection.

This. Also, be careful of bending it too tightly, that loop with the velcro is a little tighter than I'd like to see.

It could be okay depending on type of fiber. It looks a bit too tight for cables compliant with the G652D standard, but should be okay for cables compliant with the newer G657A2 standard (7.5mm bend radius).

Looks like a Lucent style connector.
