What are the differences between fiber jumper interface types

The four fiber jumper interfaces, SC, LC, FC, and ST, are the most common types of interfaces on the market. They have the same effect and are applicable to different types of interfaces, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

The SC and LC fiber jumper interfaces are square, also called big square and small square. The SC fiber jumper interface is mainly used for the optical fiber to the home, router, and transceiver. LC optical fiber jumper interface is mainly used in the equipment room. This kind of square mouth is directly inserted and removed when used, which is very convenient, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to fall off. ; ST head inserted after rotating half a bayonet fixed, the disadvantage is easy to break; The FC connection head is generally used in the telecom network, and a nut is screwed onto the adapter. The advantage is that it is reliable and dust proof, but the disadvantage is that the installation time is slightly longer. MTRJ fiber jumper consists of two high precision plastic connectors and fiber optic cable. The outer part of the connector is a precision plastic part, including a push-pull plug and pull clamping mechanism. Suitable for indoor applications in telecommunication and data network systems.

(1) FC fiber jumper: The external strengthening mode is metal sleeve, and the fastening mode is turnbuckle. Generally used on the ODF side (most used on the distribution frame)

(2) SC fiber jumper: A connector connected to the GBIC optical module. The shell of the SC fiber jumper is rectangular and is fastened by the plug and pull pin latch without rotation. (Most used on router switches)

(3) ST-type optical fiber jumper: it is usually used in optical fiber distribution frame. The shell is round and fastened by turnbuckle. For 10BASE-F connections, the connector is typically of type ST. Commonly used in optical fiber distribution frame)

(4) LC fiber jumper: connector connecting SFP module, it is made of modular jack (RJ) latch mechanism which is easy to operate. (commonly used in routers)

(5) MT-RJ fiber jumper: square fiber connector with dual fiber at one end.
