Fiber Optic Connectors and Kits - Quick, Precise Connectivity for Optical Networks

Fiber optic connectors provide a fast and reliable method of joining two optical fibers without the need for splicing. They align fiber cores with high precision, allowing light signals to pass through with minimal reflection or loss. These connectors are critical for simplifying installation and maintenance across data centers, telecom systems, and enterprise networks.

With over 100 types of fiber optic connectors on the market, selecting the right one depends on the requirements of your specific project-such as performance, form factor, and environment.

Common Types of Fiber Optic Connectors:

  • LC (Lucent Connector): Small form factor, ideal for high-density applications
  • SC (Subscriber Connector): Square design, commonly used in duplex configurations
  • ST (Straight Tip): 2.5mm ferrule, bayonet-style mount, widely used in legacy networks
  • FC (Ferrule Connector): Ceramic ferrule with a metal body, great for harsh environments
  • MPO (Multi-Fiber Push-On): MPO (Multi-Fiber Push-On): High-density connector used in backbone and data center applications
