Information About

Optical Fiber Connector




  • FC ( Ferrule Connector) has a floating ferrule that provides good mechanical isolation. However, it is screwed into contact which can induce scratches on the fiber.


  • SC connector offers excellent packing density, and its push-pull design resists fiber end face contact damage during connection.


Common types of fiber optic connectors include Biconic , D4 , ESCON , FC , FDDI , LC , Loopback , MTP , MT-RJ , MU , SC , SMA and ST .

In general the insertion loss should not exceed 0.75 dB and the return should not be higher than -20dB. Typical insertion repeatability, i.e. the difference in insertion loss between one plugging and another, is 0.2 dB.
