1. Connector Type Connectors come in various types such as SC, LC, ST, FC, MPO/MTP, SMA, and E2000, each with specific coupling mechanisms and applications. For example, SC connectors are widely used in FTTH and data centers, while LC connectors are miniaturized for high-density applications. MPO/MTP connectors are used for multi-fiber bundles, enabling simultaneous connection of multiple fibers . 2. Polishing Style The ferrule end-face polishing affects reflection and insertion loss:
