Fiber optic connector is a removable (movable) connection between the fiber and the fiber, it is the two end faces of the fiber precision butt together, so that the transmitter fiber output light energy can be maximized coupling to the receiver fiber, and to minimize the impact on the system due to its intervention in the optical link, this is the basic requirements of the fiber optic connector. To a certain extent, the fiber optic connector also affects the reliability of the optical transmission system and the performance.
Fiber optic connectors can be divided into different transmission media common silicon fiber single-mode, multi-mode connectors, and other fiber optic connectors, such as plastic and other transmission media; according to the structure of the connector can be divided into the form of: FC, SC, ST, LC, D4, DIN, MU, MT and so on a variety of forms. Among them, ST connectors are usually used for cabling equipment, such as fiber optic patch panels, fiber optic modules, etc.; while SC and MT connectors are usually used for network equipment. According to the shape of the fiber end face, there are FC, PC (including SPC or UPC) and APC; according to the number of fiber cores and single-core and multi-core (such as MT-RJ) points. Fiber optic connectors are widely used, and there are many varieties.
And radio frequency coaxial connector (hereinafter referred to as RF connector) is usually considered to be mounted on the cable or installed in the instrument on a component, as the transmission line electrical connection or separation of components. It belongs to the mechatronics products. Simply put, it mainly plays the role of bridge.
Compared with other electronic components, RF connector development history is relatively short. 1930 UHF connector is the earliest RF connector. To the period of World War II, due to the urgent need for war, with the development of radar, radio and microwave communications, resulting in N, C, BNC, TNC, and other medium-sized series, 1958 after the emergence of SMA, SMB, SMC and other miniaturized products, 1964 developed the U.S. military standard MIL-C-39012 "General Specification for RF coaxial connectors", from this point on, the RF connector started to To standardization, serialization, generalization direction.In summary, one is used in optical communication systems, one is used for cable or installed on the instrument.
