Connector Types on Fiber Optic Technology

There is so many types of connector on Fiber Optic Technology, also the same with the cables. Now Inside The Computers will write about all of connector types, and here we go.
Connector Types
Connector is also as one important thing to make the communicating functionally. Connector also has a function to maintain the component inside the cables can be connected properly to transmitter or receiver without problems. The precisely of connector is very important and we have to really careful when we buy or choose the connector. If there is any minor mistake we made, believe me, you will have major problems. So, the types of connector is so many kind of types (varying), depend on the function.

FC
Use it for single cable mode with very high accuracy in connecting cable to transmitter or receiver. This connector is using thread system so the position can be arranged, so when we plug in to the peripherals, the accuracy will not change much.

SC
Use for single cable mode, can be loosened or tide. This connector not too expensive, simple and can be arrange manually the accuracy to the peripherals.

ST
The shape is more like bayonet, almost looks like BNC connector. Is often to use on single mode or multi mode cable. Very easy to use, plug or loosened.

BICONIC
One of the first connector when the fiber optic technology appear. And now not too many people using this biconic connector.

D4
This connector more likely FC, the different is only with the size. The different of that size is about 2 mm on the ferrule part.

SMA
This connector is the oldest type of ST. But after the ST type release and developed, this type of connector is no longer made.
