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.
