Optical connectors are used for connection between network devices at data centers and for the connection of fiber optic cable to equipment on customer premises (e.g. FTTH). Among the various types of fiber connector, SC and LC are two of the most commonly used connectors. SC vs LC: what’s the difference and which one is better? […]

History of Different Fiber Optic Connector Types
Nowadays fiber optic connector comes in several varieties, including SC, ST, LC, FC, MTRJ, E-2000, MU, MPO/MTP, etc. However, choosing an optical connector was proved to be extremely difficult in the ealier fiber cabling constructions. Here lists the history of different fiber optic connector types, which could probably make some help. The ST connector is […]
Small Form Factor Fiber Optic Connectors
Since the 1990s, many small form factor (SFF) fiber optic connectors have been developed to fill the interest in devices that may fit into tight spaces and permit denser packing of connections such as fiber patch cables. Some are miniaturized versions of older connectors, built around a 1.25mm ferrule rather than the 2.5mm ferrule used […]
