Below are several common fiber optic connector types and their main application scenarios:

SC connector: SC connector is one of the most common connectors and is widely used in data communication and local area network (LAN) environments, especially for multimode fiber.

LC connector: LC connector is a small connector commonly used for high-density fiber optic connections and data center applications. It is widely used in both singlemode and multimode fiber optic networks.

ST Connector: ST connectors were more common in the past and are mainly used in multimode fiber optic networks such as LANs and video surveillance systems.

FC connectors: FC connectors are typically used in single-mode fiber optic applications, especially in measurement equipment and scientific laboratories.

MTRJ connectors: MTRJ connectors combine the transmit and receive functions of dual-mode fiber optics and are suitable for dense fiber optic connections.

MPO/MTP connectors: MPO/MTP connectors have multiple fiber channels and are used for dense fiber optic connections such as data centers and high speed fiber optic networks.

These are just some common fiber optic connector types and their application scenarios, Yingfeng has many other types of fiber optic connectors that can be used for a variety of fiber optic applications with specific needs. When selecting a connector, the choice should be based on the specific application requirements, fiber type and network environment.
