What are the types of fiber optic connectors?

Fiber optic connectors are devices used to connect optical fibers to each other for the transmission of optical signals. According to the structure and standards of connectors, the following are some common types of fiber optic connectors:
1.SC (Subscriber Connector) connector: SC connector is a common fiber optic connector, which has a square shape and precision ceramic or metal inserts. It is a push-pull connector, easy to install and remove.
2.LC (Lucent Connector) connector: LC connector is a miniaturized connector, it also uses precision ceramic or metal insert.
3.ST (Straight Tip) connector: ST connector is an earlier fiber optic connector with a circular shape and rotating locking mechanism. It is usually used for multimode fiber connections.
4. FC (Ferrule Connector) connector: FC connector uses a round metal insert and uses a threaded mechanism for locking. It has better plugging performance and stability, commonly used in single-mode fiber connection.
5.MTRJ (Mechanical Transfer Registered Jack) connector: MTRJ connector combines the transmission of optical fiber and copper cable, it has a rectangular shape, containing two fiber insert.
6.MPO (Multi-fiber Push-On) connector: MPO connector is a multi-fiber connector, it has a high-density design, can accommodate multiple fiber inserts. MPO connectors are commonly used in data centers and high-speed fiber optic communications.
7. E2000 connector: E2000 connector is a miniaturized connector with protective folding cover, which can protect the insert from contamination and damage.
In addition, there are many other types of fiber optic connectors, such as MU connectors, SMA connectors, MT-RJ connectors, etc., which are used in different applications and specifications.
Each fiber optic connector type has its own specific construction, mechanism and application scenarios. Choosing the appropriate fiber optic connector requires a comprehensive consideration based on fiber type, transmission distance, connection requirements and application needs.
