ST Connectors
The ST (Straight Tip) connector is a fiber optic connector which uses a plug and socket which is locked in place with a half-twist bayonet lock. The ST connector was the first defactor standard for fiber optic cabling. It was first developed by AT&T. ST connectors were leading connectors in the late 80s and early 90s.
They are amongst the most frequently used fiber optic connectors in networking applications. They are cylindrically shaped with twist lock coupling, 2.5mm keyed ferrule. They are used both for short distance applications and long distance coordination. The ST connector has a bayonet swell and a lengthy cylindrical ferrule to grip the fiber. They are spring-loaded; hence, one has to be certain that they are fixed correctly. They can effortlessly be attached and detached because of their flexible design.
The ST connector has been standardized as FOCIS 2 (Fiber Optic Connector Intermateability Standards) in EIA/TIA-604-02. There are two versions of ST connectors; ST and ST-II. ST version is keyed (push-in) and ST-II version is spring-loaded (twist). They are benchmarked for five hundred connect-disconnect cycles.

- MTRJ Connectors
An MTRJ connector is a type of fiber optic cable that has an endpoint similar to the RJ-45 connector endpoint found in Ethernet connections. MTRJ connectors are designed to snap into the Ethernet port of a computer, modem, or wireless router and provide that computer or network with extremely fast data transfer rates. MTRJ connectors [...]...
- FC Connectors
The FC connector is a fiber optic connector with a threaded body which was designed for use in high-vibration environments. It is widely used with both single-mode and multi-mode fiber. The fiber’s ending point is implanted in a 2.5 mm ferrule (metal cap or band placed on a wooden pole to avoid splitting) made of [...]...
- LC Connectors
The LC connector is a small form factor fiber optic connector. The LC connector resembles a small SC connector. Lucent Technologies first developed the LC connector for TelCo environment uses. Hence, LC stands for Lucent Connectors. The LC connector has been standardized as FOCIS 10 (Fiber Optic Connector Intermateability Standards) in EIA/TIA-604-10. The LC connector [...]...
- RF Connectors
RF connectors, also known as a radio frequency connectors, include a number of different types of connectors constructed to work with a wide range of multi-megahertz applications. RF connectors provide a quick and easy way to connect coaxial cables to each other and to other devices. There is a range of capability among the different [...]...
- N Connectors
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 [...]...
