FC Connectors
The FC connector is used extensively in the communications market where long, singlemode fiber cables can run up to 50km. This connector has a screw thread fitting into the adapter to provide a secure connection.
LC Connectors
The LC connector is a small form factor
connector that uses half the space of the SC
connector. It utilizes a latched lever mechanism
to provide secure mating into the adapter. The
duplex version, which is two simplex connectors
with a clip, plugs into an adapter with the same
footprint as the SC connector.
SC Connectors
The SC connector utilizes a push-pull, latching mechanism. This design allows for quick insertion and removal while also ensuring a positive connection. It can be seen in every area of the communications environment, from a telecoms distribution room to local area network closet.
ST Connectors
The ST connector’s bayonet design allows for quick, twist-lock interconnect and high repeatability. They are used mostly for multimode intra-building, security, and navy applications.
