Types of Fiber Connectors<br />
The ST Connector<br />
Which uses a bayonet locking system is the<br />
most common connector.<br />
The FC Connector<br />
Is a threaded connector used in high-vibration<br />
environments.<br />
The SC Connector<br />
Has a molded body and a push-pull system.<br />
The MTO Connector<br />
Is a connector that uses high-fiber-count<br />
ribbon cable. Used in high-density fiber<br />
applications.<br />
The LC Connector<br />
Is a small-form-factor connector, features a<br />
ceramic ferrule and looks like a mini SC connector.<br />
The MTP Connector<br />
Is a connector that uses high-fiber-count<br />
ribbon cable. Used in high-density fiber<br />
applications.<br />
The MT-RJ Connector<br />
Is a small-form RJ-style connector, features<br />
a molded body and uses a cleave-and-leave<br />
splicing.<br />
The MU Connector<br />
Resembles the larger SC connector, but it’s<br />
much smaller. It uses the simple push-pull<br />
latching connection. Used in high-density<br />
fiber applications.<br />
Fiber Optic Cable Construction<br />
Jacket: Usually constructed of<br />
extruded PVC. Protects fiber,<br />
allows easy handling.<br />
Strengthening fibers:<br />
Aramid yarn (Kevlar)<br />
Coating:<br />
900 μM plastic, coats and<br />
protects the fiber.<br />

Multimode<br />
For use in general<br />
data and voice fiber<br />
applications<br />
Used in LANs and over<br />
short distances<br />
