Episode 24 — Fiber Connector Types — SC, LC, Single-Mode, Multi-Mode
This episode explains the most common fiber optic connector types and how they pair with single-mode and multi-mode fiber. We detail the physical design and locking mechanisms of SC and LC connectors, their respective advantages, and how they are matched to cable specifications. The discussion covers insertion loss, return loss, and connector polish types, which are important factors in maintaining signal quality.
In the practical section, we connect this knowledge to deployment and troubleshooting scenarios, such as replacing a damaged connector or identifying a mismatch between connector and fiber type. Candidates will also learn how cleaning and inspection tools maintain optimal performance. By understanding fiber connector standards and their applications, you can ensure network reliability and meet exam expectations.
