    Study Notes

    Fiber Optic Connectors

    • Fiber optic connections are common in large computing environments and data centers.
    • Smaller connectors allow for more interfaces in a given space.
    • LC Connector (Local Connector):
      • Single interface with two fiber connections (transmit and receive, or separate).
      • Compact design.
    • ST Connector (Straight Tip Connector):
      • Long ferrule at the end.
      • Locks into place with a quarter-turn bayonet connection.
    • SC Connector (Subscriber Connector/Square Connector):
      • Square-shaped connector end.
      • Often combined, but can also be used as separate runs.
