This page explains different types of optical fiber connectors, including FC, SC, ST, LC, and DIN connectors. The primary function of a fiber connector is to:

  • Connect two separate sections of optical fiber or two separate cables.
  • Connect a source device with a fiber cable.
  • Connect a receiver device with a fiber cable.

Fiber connectors come in different types, each with its own performance characteristics and technical specifications. Common types include FC, SC, ST, LC, and DIN connectors.
