What are the interface types of fiber jumpers?
3 min readFiber jumpers are a type of connection cable used to connect fiber optic devices, which plays a vital role in fiber optic communications. Fiber jumpers have a variety of interface types, and different interface types are suitable for different application scenarios and devices. This article will introduce some common fiber jumper interface types and explain their characteristics and applications in detail.
1. SC interface
The SC (Subscriber Connector) interface is a common fiber jumper interface type. It adopts a plug-in connection method and has the characteristics of high reliability and high plug-in and pull-out times. The SC interface is usually used for single-mode fiber connection and is suitable for long-distance transmission and high-speed transmission application scenarios. The connection method of the SC interface is simple. You only need to insert the optical fiber into the interface and rotate it to lock it, so it is very convenient in practical applications.
2. LC interface
The LC (Lucent Connector) interface is a miniaturized fiber jumper interface type. It adopts a plug-in connection method and has the characteristics of small size and easy plug-in and pull-out. The LC interface is usually used for single-mode fiber connection and is suitable for high-density wiring and high-speed transmission application scenarios. The connection method of the LC interface is similar to that of the SC interface, but due to its small size, it can achieve higher port density in a limited space.
3. FC interface
FC (Ferrule Connector) interface is a common type of fiber jumper interface. It adopts a threaded connection method and has the characteristics of reliable connection and vibration resistance. FC interface is usually used for single-mode fiber connection and is suitable for application scenarios with high requirements, such as fiber sensing and fiber measurement. The connection method of the FC interface is relatively complex and requires rotating the thread for locking, but due to its high connection reliability, it is widely used in some special environments.
4. ST interface
ST (Straight Tip) interface is a common type of fiber jumper interface. It adopts a plug-in connection method and has the characteristics of a reliable connection and easy plugging and unplugging. ST interface is usually used for multi-mode fiber connection and is suitable for some application scenarios with shorter distance transmission. The connection method of the ST interface is similar to that of the SC interface, but due to its high connection reliability, it is widely used in some special environments.
5. MPO/MTP interface
MPO/MTP (Multi-fiber Push-On/Pull-off) interface is a multi-core fiber jumper interface type. It adopts a plug-in connection method and has the characteristics of high-density and high-speed transmission. MPO/MTP interface is usually used for multimode fiber connection and is suitable for high-density cabling application scenarios such as data centers and cloud computing. MPO/MTP interface can realize the simultaneous connection of multiple core optical fibers, greatly improving the efficiency and reliability of data transmission.
In addition to the above-mentioned common fiber jumper interface types, there are some other interface types, such as MT-RJ interface, E2000 interface, etc. These interface types are widely used in some special application scenarios, but because of their professional use, they are not common in general fiber optic communications.
In short, there are various types of fiber jumpers, and different interface types are suitable for different application scenarios and devices. When choosing fiber jumpers, it is necessary to choose the appropriate interface type according to actual needs and equipment requirements. At the same time, when using fiber jumpers, it is also necessary to pay attention to the correct connection method and operation method to ensure the stability and reliability of fiber optic communication.
