Study Notes

  • The text discusses various types of fiber optic and copper connectors.
  • LC connector: small, has locking connectors at the top, two fibers inside, plugs in by pushing down and removing sideways.
  • ST connector: larger than LC, uses bayonet connectors, locks in place by twisting and unlocks by untwisting and pulling.
  • SC connector: square shape, can be individual or simultaneous fiber connections, locks in place with a unique mechanism, releases by pulling back on the spring-loaded connector.
  • MT-RJ connector: smallest connector, has two tiny fibers, locks in place with a top mechanism, pushing down disengages the lock for removal.
  • UPC connector: ultra-polished connector, ferrules connect at a 0-degree angle, creates high return loss due to direct reflection.
  • APC connector: angled polished connector, fibers meet at an 8-degree angle, reflection angles away from source, reduces return loss.
  • RJ11 connector: registered jack type 11, six-position connector, two conductors inside, used for DSL and analog telephone connections.
  • RJ45 connector: registered jack type 45, eight-position connector, all eight conductors used for ethernet connections.
  • RJ11 vs RJ45: similar construction but different sizes, incorrect usage can cause issues.
  • F-connector: threaded coaxial connector, used for cable modems, follows DOCSIS standards, RG-6 cable, twist to secure connection.
