Fiber Optic Patch Cord LC/SC/FC/ST Differences

between optical fiber connectors

Optical fiber jumpers are generally classified by installing connectors. FC, ST, SC and LC optical fiber jumper connectors are common. What are the characteristics and differences of these four optical fiber jumper connectors? Raisefiber gives you a detailed introduction.

FC type optical fiber jumper connector

Commonly known as round head, its external strengthening method is metal sleeve, and the fastening method is turnbuckle, which is generally adopted on the ODF side. FC connector is generally used in telecommunication network, and a nut is screwed to the adapter. It has the advantages of reliability and dust prevention, but the disadvantage is that the installation time is slightly longer.  

ST type optical fiber jumper connector

It is usually used for the connection of multi-mode devices. After the ST head is inserted, it rotates half a circle and is fixed with a bayonet. The disadvantage is that it is easy to break. It is often used when docking with other manufacturers' equipment in the deployment of wireless network.

SC type optical fiber jumper connector

Commonly known as square head and generous, the optical interface on the side of transmission equipment generally uses SC connector. The SC connector is directly plugged in and out, which is very convenient to use. The disadvantage is that it is easy to fall out.

LC type optical fiber jumper connector

Commonly known as square head and small square, it is a dedicated interface for SFP modules. It is much smaller than the above-mentioned interfaces. The switch can accommodate more ports in the same area.

After understanding these four types of fiber optic patch

cord connectors, let's take a look at the difference

between fiber optic patch cord connectors.

1.FC-type optical fiber connectors are most used on the distribution frame  
2. SC type optical fiber connectors are most used on router switches  
3. ST type optical fiber connector is usually used for 10Base-F connection and is also commonly used for optical fiber distribution frame  
4. LC type optical fiber connectors are commonly used in routers.

signals. It plays an important role in weak current

engineering, so we must understand these basic

knowledge about weak current.

The optical fiber jumper is mainly used to access the
