  1. Fiber Optic Connectors

  2. Introduction • In any enterprise or professional internet network, data speed and reliability is of top priority. • Hence, most are shifting to Pre terminated fiber optic cable networks as they are unfazed by electromagnetic interference and you get superior bandwidth ( >10Gbps) with data transfer at the speed of light. • Yet, when choosing a fiber optic you have a plethora of option to choose from. • For long distance > 500mtrs, you have single mode fibers • For short distance <500mtrs, you have multimode fibers • Similarly, you have a wide choice when it comes to fiber connectors.

  3. SC Connectors • Acronym for subscriber connector • SC was developed by NTT in Japan for fiber optic communications. • Snap-in type connector • Implements a push-pull mechanism for quick insertion and removal • Two SC connectors are bound together with a plastic clip to create a duplex connection • Used for 2.5mm ferrule

  4. ST Connector • Acronym for Straight Tip • Was developed by AT&T • Implements a twist on/off connection mechanism • It is generally deployed alone • It is also used in a 2.5mm ferrule

  5. LC Connectors • Developed by Lucent Technologies, hence the acronym LC (i.e., Lucent Connector) • Is a small form factor connector • Deployed in pairs • It utilizes a retaining tab mechanism for staying in place • Used in a 1.25mm ferrule • Useful in single-mode communications • Available as Pre terminated fiber

  6. MTRJ Connectors • Acronym for Mechanical Transfer-Registered Jack connectors • Developed by AMP/Tyco and Corning • Greatly resembles the RJ45 connectors • Houses two cables in a single connector. So used for duplex communications. • It is available in two variants. • With the mating pins • Without the mating pins • Applicable for single or multimode communications

  7. MTP/MPO Connectors • MPO stands for Multi-Fiber Push-on type of connector • It was developed by NTT in the early ’90s • MTP stands for Multi-Fiber Termination Push-on type of connector • It is used for terminating multi-fiber connections in an indoor environment • The MTP connectors are engineered for high mechanical and optical specs • Connected using a push-pull mechanism • The male connectors have pins, and the female connector has pits to guide the ferrule correctly

  8. MU Connectors • Acronym for Multitermination Unibody Connector • It is is a miniature version of the SC connector • It is a connector type developed by the NTT and used in Japan only • Used for a ferrule size of 1.25mm • Implements a push-pull mechanism for quick insertion and removal
