Types of optical fiber connectors

An optical fiber connector is an electronic device that is mainly used to connect various parts of an optical fiber line to achieve low-delay, ultra-high-speed information transmission. The types of optical fiber connectors are very rich, and can be divided into ST type, SC type, LC type and FC type according to the different connection ports. The difference between these connectors is mainly in their structural design and scope of application.

The ST connector is a connector widely used in optical fiber distribution frames, which is characterized by a very tight connection between the pin and the connector body, so it has high stability and reliability. The pin of this connector is usually round, and the connector body is square, so it is also called a "square head" connector.

SC connector is one of the most used types at present, which is characterized by a very tight connection between the pin and the connector body, so it has high stability and reliability. The pin of this connector is usually square, and the connector body is round, so it is also called a "round head" connector.

LC connector adopts modular optical fiber connector, which is a device to realize low loss connection between optical fibers or between optical fibers and cables, mainly composed of four parts: pin, connector body, optical cable and connection device. The pin of this connector is usually square, and the connector body is round, so it is also called a "round head" connector.

The FC connector is a relatively old connector, which is characterized by a very tight connection between the pin and the connector body, so it has high stability and reliability. The pin of this connector is usually round, and the connector body is square, so it is also called a "square head" connector.

In addition to the above four common connector types, there are some special types of connectors, such as fiber optic rotary connectors, which are widely used in military defense, industrial control, energy and medical fields.

When choosing optical fiber connectors, you need to choose more cost-effective products according to actual demand and budget. At the same time, it is also important to choose a manufacturer or seller with reliable reputation and perfect service. In use, it is very important to keep the connector end clean to ensure its good working condition.
