Fiber optic connectors and adapters are by far the most commonly used active components in optical fiber communication systems. Connectors and adapters provide a means to interconnect two or more ends of optical fiber cables. This enables two otherwise incompatible components to be quickly and easily interconnected, typically by insertion into a mating interface. Fiber optic connectors and adapters provide secure interconnection, while at the same time, reducing cost and improving performance.The most common type of fiber optic connectors are LC (Latching Connector) and SC (Subscriber Connector). Both LC and SC fiber optic connectors and adapters are used in many commercial fields, such as in datacoms, telecoms, CCTV, and broadcast applications. LC fiber optic connectors are the most popular type of fiber optic connector due to its ease of assembly and low cost. The LC connector has a push-pull locking mechanism that clips the two connectors together, which is ideal for quick and secure connections and then disconnections. The LC connector is available in both single-mode and multimode versions. The SC fiber optic connector is more commonly found in optical equipment used for telecommunications. The SC connector is a push-on lock design which is relatively easy to assemble. Fiber optic adapters provide secure alignment, or coupling, between two fiber optic connectors. They provide electrical isolation between fiber optic cables, as well as reducing environmental and electromagnetic interference. Fiber optic adapters come in many types such as SC, LC, ST, and FC. Some fiber optic adapters can be used in bidirectional communication where both control paths are switched for operation in either direction.
