What types of fiber optic connectors are there? What are the characteristics of each?

Box Optronics can provide international standard optical fiber connectors, which can be divided into FC (FC/PC, FC/APC), ST, and SMA-905 according to their structure. The appearance is shown in the figure below. Among them, the FC fastening method is a turnbuckle, a ceramic ferrule is used, and the butting end surface has a flat surface (PC) and an 8° angle bevel (APC). This type of connector has the advantage of being reliable. The ST fixing method is a snap-fit type, and a bayonet is fixed after inserting it half a circle, which is easy to operate. SMA-905 adopts a screw-locked fixing method. Generally, it is directly processed from metal. It is commonly used in high-power lasers. Its advantages are high temperature resistance and fast heat dissipation.
