Four types of fiber optic connectors are widely used for terminating single fibers. They are LC, SC, ST, and FC connectors. LC connector has a 1.25mm ceramic ferrule which is only half the size of other connectors. It's a snap-in connector usually used for high-density applications. SC connector uses a 2.5mm ceramic ferrule and also features a snap-in connection for quick cable patching. Different from other connectors, the ST connector uses a bayonet twist-lock connection with 2.5mm ferrule. Moreover, FC is a screw-type connector with 2.5mm ferrule but is becoming less popular than LC and SC connectors. This fiber optic splitter/fiber coupler provides Highest Quality Signal
Connector Polish Styles
When terminating the optic fiber with the connector, you should also decide on the polish type if the connector is not polished in advance. Generally, the connector end face will be polished to minimize the back reflection of light. Using the mated polish styles, light can propagate through connectors with lower fiber loss. There are four types of polish styles-flat, PC, UPC, and APC polishes. Among them, UPC and APC types are more popular in the industry. The major difference between UPC and APC connectors is that the APC type is polished at an 8-degree angle while UPC has no angle, but they are both slightly curved for better core alignment. As for the color, UPC connector is usually blue and APC connector is green.
