Difference between huawei mini sc adapter and ST, FC, LC fiber optic connectors

The huawei mini sc adapter and ST and FC optical fiber connectors are standards developed by different companies in the early days. They have the same effect and have their own advantages and disadvantages. ST, huawei mini sc adapter connectors are often used in general networks. After the ST head is inserted, it is fixed by a bayonet half-circle, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to break; the huawei mini sc adapter can be directly inserted and unplugged, which is very convenient to use, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to fall out; , the advantage is that it is reliable and dust-proof, and the disadvantage is that the installation time is slightly longer.

MTRJ type fiber optic patch cord consists of two high-precision plastic molded connectors and fiber optic cables. The outer parts of the connector are precision plastic parts, including a push-pull plug-in clamping mechanism. Suitable for indoor applications in telecommunication and data network systems.

① FC-type fiber optic connector: The external strengthening method is a metal sleeve, and the fastening method is a turnbuckle. Generally used on the ODF side (the most used on the patch panel)
② huawei mini sc adapter: The connector for connecting to the GBIC optical module, its shell is rectangular, and the fastening method is a plug-in pin-bolt type, which does not need to be rotated. (Most used on router switches)
③ ST-type optical fiber connector: commonly used in optical fiber distribution frame, the outer shell is round, and the fastening method is turnbuckle. (For 10Base-F connections, the connectors are usually ST type. Often used in fiber optic distribution frames)
④ LC-type fiber optic connector: a connector for connecting SFP modules, which is made with a modular jack (RJ) latch mechanism that is easy to operate. (commonly used by routers)
⑤ MT-RJ: A square fiber optic connector that integrates transceivers, one end of which is a dual-fiber transceiver.
