         The fiber connector, also called the active connector, is used for the connection between the device and the fiber, the fiber and the fiber, the fiber and the other passive components. The connector has the characteristics of low loss, convenient assembly and disassembly, good stability and good repeatability. The same type of interchangeable, small volume, low cost, is composed of three parts, a two plug socket. Among them a lot of kinds, according to the shape of the structure were FC, SC, ST, etc., in accordance with the joint end of the form is divided into PC, UPC, etc..

        The optical fiber connector end face processing Ballability surface, achieve physical contact between the two slender core, this connector called PC type connector, such as the structure of connector for SC type, called SC/PC type connector. Fiber jumper two connector and a protective sleeve with soft fiber.

But only with a pigtail fiber connector. The fiber into the room after the distal end of the optical fiber is fixed on the optical fiber distribution box, each fiber fused on the tail pigtail thrown out of box with FC, optical fiber connection can be realized and equipment. The sheath color of single mode fiber is yellow, and the sheath of multimode fiber is orange.

In addition to optical fiber connector, often to use optical fiber adapter, fiber coupler, optical attenuator and passive devices.
