Fiber optic connectors are crucial for seamless data transmission in networks.
Features:
• Low insertion loss
• High return loss
• PC, UPC, APC polishing
• High reliability and stability
They can be classified into two main types:

1. Normal Connectors:
Normal fiber optic connectors, like LC, SC, FC, ST, and MTRJ, offer reliable and established connections. They are suited for standard installation procedures, providing durable and secure links in a range of network environments.
a) LC: Small form-factor, ideal for high-density setups in data centers.
b) SC: Widely used, easy-to-use snap-in connectors for secure links.
c) FC: Sturdy connectors suited for industrial environments and laboratory setups.
d) ST: Robust connectors with a twist-lock mechanism for reliable connections.
e) MTRJ: Space-saving connectors combining fiber and copper elements for compact setups.

2. Fast Connectors:
Fast fiber optic connectors, such as LC, SC, FC, and ST, prioritize rapid coupling and installation. Designed for efficiency, they streamline the connection process without compromising on reliability, making them ideal for scenarios where quick deployment is essential.
a) LC: Facilitates rapid, efficient coupling for speedy installation.
b) SC: Ensures swift connections, common in high-speed networks.
c) FC: Provides fast and dependable coupling for various applications.
d) ST: Enables quick and secure connections, often found in diverse settings
