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.

Fiber optic patch panel, also known as the fiber distribution panel, is used mainly in fiber optic cable management. It helps network technicians in minimizing the clutter of wires when setting up fiber optic cables. It terminates the fiber optic cable while providing access to the cable’s individual fibers for cross connection. They are also called the termination units and they are used to secure the splice units, and connectors. The fiber optic patch panels can accommodate connector panels, connectors, patch cords, associated trunk cables, and usually come with cable management. With the use of fiber optic patch cables, network [...]
The Type "N" connector, commonly known as the N connector, is used to join coaxial cables using a threaded RF connector. It was one of the first connectors to be capable of carrying microwave-frequency signals. Invented by Paul Neill of Bell Labs in the 1940s, the connector is named after him. Design Details These connectors were devised to carry signals that could reach 1 GHz in certain military applications. The Type N connector that is commonly used today can easily handle up to 11 GHz. However, that was just the beginning. Precision enhancements made to the design by Julius Botka [...]
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. MS connectors are a type of circular threading connector that requires no tools to assemble. Installation can be done by simply the barrel into the receptacle and turning in the proper direction. This ease of use made MS connectors perfect for military uses where trained [...]
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 TOSLINK standard was first developed by Toshiba to provide connections in its CS players. It soon caught on and became the most popular connection format for audio signals. It is mainly used to connect CD player, DVD players, satellite dish receivers and other equipment which [...]
