A Quick Guide to Fiber Optic Connectors
This simple guide should help you in understanding the various fiber optic connectors on the market and get you up and running. Please note that there are many types of connectors and variants available, we will only be covering the most commonly used ones here.
LC Connectors
LC connectors are licensed by Lucent Technologies, now known as Alcatel-Lucent. These connectors are ideal for use in high-density applications due to their small size and feature a pull-proof design. They are available in both simplex and duplex versions with a 1.25mm zirconia ferrule. Additionally, LC connectors also make use of a specialized latch mechanism to provide stability within rack mounts.
SC Connectors
SC connectors, also known as Subscriber Connectors, Square Connectors or Standard Connectors, are non-optical disconnect connectors with a 2.5mm pre-radius-ed zirconia ferrule. They are ideal for quick patching of cables into rack or wall mounts due to their push-pull design. Available in simplex and duplex with a reusable duplex holding clip to allow for duplex connections.
FC Connectors
FC connectors are known as both Ferrule Connectors and Fiber Channel Connectors. They feature a durable threaded coupling and are best suited for use within telecommunications applications and make use of non-optical disconnect.
ST Connectors
ST connectors, or Straight Tip connectors, make use of a semi-unique bayonet connection with a 2.5mm ferrule. ST’s are great fiber optic connectors for field installation due to their reliability and durability. They are available in both simplex and duplex.
