Unlike Category 5 network cable, including a standardized connector installation, fiber optic cables can be used any number of connector scheme, in order to make the connection with the patch panel, switch boxes, including a variety of network of data systems.
Its own advantages and disadvantages of each offersits of the different types of fiber optic connectors, it is best suited to their specific application. The following are some of the most common types of fiber optic connectors, and their common uses and advantages, they can list your fiber optic network.
Senior Counsel
Although there are more fiber optical fiber connection device on the market varieties than can fully discuss, fiber optic connectors, you may experience a relatively small number of professional settings.
SC fiber optic connector for one of the most common type of commercial use, and know they will be the work of fiber-optic network is necessary.
SC fiber optic connectors, a prominent advantage is the unit design. This design, so that they can be easily implemented with other network connection. SC connector, 2.5 mm pointer as well as its reliable performance is known. They are usually simple nature (one-way), SC connector and a duplex (two-way) format as well.
SC connectors widely used in recent years, welcome to reduce in price.Most Verizon phone and Internet connections were down Monday morning and afternoon because a major Fiber Optic Patch Cable was accidentally cut.
The price cuts before the SC connector often Levy than the cheaper, though still technically impressive, the ST connector.
STMicroelectronics
ST fiber connector has a 2.5mm ceramic ferrule, like SC fiber optic connector. However, the SC connector teammates, through the mechanism of a cell, the ST connector uses a spring-loaded not to mention a couple other network.
Usually, you will find that the ST connectors, such as those found in the commercial or academic campus, the elderly, large-scale multi-mode networks. “Mode” refers to allow multiple propagation paths through the fiber optic cable along its data. The ST connector has largely been replaced by more recent plans to connect the consumer market, but they still can go to any large-scale network to provide a satisfactory performance.
Functional Constituency
SC and ST connectors,All UTP Lan Cable segments together with patch leads we have just discussed, the FC fiber optic connector is usually used for single-mode fiber optic cable, cable, and provides a propagation path along the information can go to. Single-mode fiber optic cable typically used for longer distances than multimode fiber optic cable wiring. Many data communications and telecommunications systems with FC connector, for this purpose.
FC fiber optic connector has a 2.5mm ceramic ferrule, screw locking mechanism, and its connection.
Legislative Council
With only half of the size of the SC, ST and FC optical fiber, optical fiber connectors, the LC fiber optic connector is a good choice for cable termination needs quickly with little trouble effects. 11.25 mm ceramic ferrule and single-mode fiber optic cable LC connectors provide reliable performance. Many of the works in the communications technology requires a high density of connections, such as SFP and XFP transceivers with LC fiber optic connectors.
MT-RJ fiber
MTRJ connector is a different beast than so far, we have already discussed the connector. Abbreviation the MTRJ standing mechanical transfer registered jack. MTRJ connector was designed to mimic the size and shape of the RJ-45 is usually at both ends of the five, over five, six types of network cable.
With a single polymer, the ferrule and MTRJ connectors and duplex multimode fiber optic cable connection. Many adapters, data transfer between the fiber-optic network and traditional UTP data network MTRJ connectors, because they are relatively easy to use.
TOSLINK
TOSLINK Connectors MTRJ connector, a special purpose. Income from its name the words “Toshiba” and “link” series, TOSLINK connector is almost all fiber optic connectors used in the consumer market. Sometimes referred to as “light tone” connector, TOSLINK connector design for digital audio signals between the audio source and speakers through the fiber optic cable.
TOSLINK connection original intention was to form a connection between the CD player and home stereo system. Today, TOSLINK connector used to connect DVD players, Blu-ray players, game consoles, digital stereo system.
