Cable Plug/Port Identification - Fiber Optic Connector Recognition Flashcards
Identify cable type
FC (Ferrule Connector)
a fiber-optic connector designed for use in high-vibration environments.
Identify type of Cable B
LC (Lucent Connector) also called Little Connector / Local Connector
is a compact and widely used fiber-optic connector known for its small form factor and reliable performance.
Identify type of Cable A
The SC connector features a simple, push-pull coupling end face with a square-shaped, snap-in connector. This design ensures a secure fit.
It’s often referred to as the “stick and click” connector due to its straightforward installation process and locking tab mechanism that enables easy push-on and pull-off operations
Identify cable type
ST (Straight Tip Fiber Connector)
uses a locking mechanism similar to BNC coax connectors.
Identify type of Cable C
FC (Ferrule Connector) or Fiber Channel
is a robust and widely used fiber-optic connector designed to withstand high-vibration environments. Has a threaded body. Originally called the Field Assembly Connector. -
Threaded, but no Twist-Lock Connector like ST

Identify type of Cable D
ST (Straight Tip)
- The ST connector features a quick-release bayonet-style plug and socket.
- Its cylindrical shape allows for twist-lock coupling.
- The connector has a 2.5 mm keyed ferrule
