For home network use, SC or LC connectors are recommended.

SC connector: SC connector is suitable for home network environment, it has the characteristics of easy plugging and unplugging and stable and reliable. It is similar in appearance to an RJ45 network cable connector and is relatively simple to use.SC connectors provide good performance and reliable data transmission when making fiber optic connections between home networking devices.

LC connector: LC connector is a miniaturized connector with a smaller size than SC connector for high-density fiber optic connections. While the LC connector may slightly require some extra care when plugging and unplugging, it offers a higher connection density and can better fit into the compact space of home networking equipment.

Regardless of whether you choose SC or LC connectors, it is important to make sure that your chosen connectors are compatible with the interfaces of your home networking equipment and that you use good-quality fiber optic patch cords to establish a reliable connection. In addition, fiber optic connections in a home network are usually short distance connections, so it is also important to choose the right length of fiber optic patch cable to avoid inconvenience and performance issues caused by too long or too short.

Please note that there are other factors to consider when choosing connectors and configuring your home network, such as network device compatibility, network speed requirements, and budget. If you have more needs or questions about a specific home network setup, it is recommended to consult a professional network technician or provider for more accurate advice and solutions.
