Hardware installed on Fiber Cable ends in order to provide attachment to a transmitter, receiver, or other cable; they are typically devices that can be connected and disconnected repeatedly.

There are many types of Fiber Optic Cable connectors:

• ST Connectors: Slotted bayonet type Connector with long ferrule. Common connector for mulitmode fibers.
• FC Connectors: Screw on type connector. Popular with single Mode fibers.
• SC Connectors: Push/pull connector that can also be used with Duplex fiber constuction.
• LC Connectors: Much like the ST Connector but with a Ferrule that is half the size.
• MT-RJ Connectors: Connector configured for duplex fibers with both fibers in one ferrule.
• MU Connectors: Much like the SC Connector but with a ferrule about half the size.
