Subscriber Connectors (SCs)
The Subscriber Connector (SC) is a fiber optic connector with a push-pull latching mechanism that provides quick insertion and removal while ensuring a positive connection.
The SC is also available in a duplex configuration. It has a benefit in keyed duplex capability to support send/receive channels. This connector is commonly used for most modern network applications. The SC is a snap-in connector that is extensively used in single-mode systems for its remarkable efficiency.
Subscriber Connectors are inexpensive, trouble-free, and robust. They give precise positioning via their ceramic ferrules. The square snap-in connector latches with a simple push-pull motion and is keyed. It features a 2.5mm ferrule and molded housing for shielding. Characteristically compared SC connectors are known for 1000 mating cycles and have an insertion loss of 0.25 dB.
The SC connector has been standardized as FOCIS 3 (Fiber Optic Connector Intermateability Standards) in EIA/TIA-604-03.

- MS Connectors
MIL-C-5015, now known popularly as MS connectors, are multi-pin, highly durable connectors that were originally invented for use in military applications. They have a variety of features that makes them easy to use for nearly any application and are often found in a variety of advanced, high power, heavy duty devices in the industrial world. [...]...
- MCX
MCX is a type of connector developed in the 1980′s and used in the microwave transmission range. It carries frequencies of up to 6 GHz and is the second smallest of the subminiature connector families. At approximately 30% smaller than Subminiature B connectors (measuring in at 0.140 inches on the outer diameter of the plug), [...]...
- How Fiber Optic Cables Work
There are two main types of fiber optic cable, which are single mode and multi-mode. Single mode: Single mode fiber optic cable is a narrow strand that only has one mode of transmission. Single mode fibers are able to transmit at high speeds over long distances as a result of their small core. Because single [...]...
- TOSLINK
TOSLINK or Toshiba – LINK is a connection standard for digital audio streams. It is a standard which uses fiber optic cables. The important feature of fiber optic cables is that they convert audio signals into light impulses as opposed to electric signals. TOSLINK cables usually transmit their signals as the red LED lights. The [...]...
- How Fiber Optic Lights Work
Fiber optic lines, which can be as thin as a piece of human hair, are made of strands of glass that are optically pure. They are used to transmit light signals, and have the ability to carry these signals over long distances. How is Light Transmitted Through Fiber Optics? The process by which light is [...]...
