Fiber Optic connectors are normally either SC or ST SC is the accepted standard.

If you're running fiber-optic cable on your network, you would typically use connectors such as LC (Lucent Connector), SC (Subscriber Connector), or ST (Straight Tip) connectors, depending on the specific requirements of your installation. LC connectors are popular for their compact size and high-density applications, while SC connectors are known for their durability and ease of use. ST connectors, although less common in new installations, are still used in some legacy systems. It's important to match the connector type to your equipment and network design.
· LC connectors are sometimes called "Little Connectors".SC connectors, being square, have a mnemonic of "Square Connector", which some people believe to be the correct name, rather than the more official "Subscriber Connector". Other terms often used for SC connectors are "Set and Click" or "Stab and Click".

An ST (Straight Tip) connector typically uses multimode fiber optic cables. This connector is commonly used in networking and telecommunications for its ease of use and reliable connection. ST connectors feature a bayonet-style coupling mechanism, allowing for secure connections and disconnections. They are often used in older fiber optic systems but have largely been replaced by more modern connectors like SC and LC in recent years.
There are several types of fiber connectors, including SC, LC, ST, and MTP/MPO. SC connectors are popular for their low loss and easy push-pull design but can be larger in size. LC connectors are smaller and allow for higher density installations, making them ideal for data centers, though they can be more challenging to handle. ST connectors are circular and easy to connect/disconnect, but they are less commonly used today, while MTP/MPO connectors support multi-fiber applications and high-density connections but may require more complex termination and testing processes.
