Fiber Optic Connector Varieties

Diverse Fiber Optic Connector Types

In the realm of fiber optic cabling, several connector types are employed to terminate cables. Each possesses unique dimensions and configurations, making them distinct and non-interchangeable. Selecting the appropriate connector type is crucial for the effective installation of fiber-related systems.

FC Fiber Optic Connector: The Older, Threaded Choice

The FC, or Fixed Connection, is a legacy connector in the fiber optic industry. It's more commonly associated with single-mode cables than multimode ones. The FC's defining feature is its threaded screw-on mechanism, which, while ensuring a secure connection, makes it slower to disconnect than more contemporary connectors. Despite its complexity and higher production costs due to metal usage, FC connectors are still in use, especially in environments with moving machinery, thanks to their secure threading.

LC Connector: Compact and User-Friendly

The LC connector, designed for efficiency and space-saving, is a push-pull type with a latching mechanism. Its primary appeal lies in its compact size, about half that of traditional fiber optic connectors. This small footprint makes LC ideal for devices with limited space for fiber optic connections.

SC Connector: The Prevalent and Cost-Effective Option

SC connectors are arguably the most prevalent in today's fiber optic applications. They are designed for simplicity and cost-effectiveness, utilizing a push-pull mechanism with a locking tab. SC's economical production and easy operation make it a favorite in sectors with extensive fiber cable usage, like telecommunications and data communications.

ST Connector: The BNC-Inspired Alternative

The ST connector, similar in some respects to the FC, distinguishes itself with a locking mechanism akin to BNC coaxial connectors, rather than threaded connections. While the ST connector is not being phased out as rapidly as the FC, its usage is gradually declining in favor of the more compact LC and the versatile SC connectors.
