An optical fiber connector is a flexible device that connects fiber cables requiring quick connection and disconnection, keeping the ends of the fiber properly aligned, allowing the fiber receiver to get the maximum light from the launching fiber, and minimizing the energy loss for the system because of the intervention of the optical link. This is the basic requirement for the fiber optic connector. To some extent, fiber optic connectors have some effect on the stability and performance of the fiber-optical transmission system.

SC/APC to FC/APC Simplex, 3.0mm, Singlemode Patch Cable
With SC/APC to FC/APC connectors, this fiber patch cable is ready for deployment in any singlemode 9/125 network. Singlemode 9/125 is best used for long cable runs.
SC/PC to SC/PC Duplex, 3.0mm, Singlemode Patch Cable
The 9/125 m OS2 single mode bend-insensitive fiber optic cable has less attenuation when bent or twisted than traditional optical fiber cables, and this makes the installation and maintenance of fiber optic cables more efficient.
