What are the common pigtail connector models?

　　There are various models of pigtail connectors, each with its specific application scenarios and advantages. Here are some common pigtail connector models and their characteristics:

　　First, LC connector

　　Features: Miniaturized design with a diameter of only 1.25mm, which is half the size of the SC connector, allowing for higher panel density.

　　Applications: Widely used in high-density fiber optic distribution frames and equipment, such as data centers and computer rooms, where high-density fiber optic connections are required.

　　Second, SC connector

　　Features: Standard connector with 2.5mm diameter square plug, easy to use and low cost.

　　Application: It is suitable for a variety of scenarios such as data centers, local area networks and telecommunications applications, and is one of the common connector types in optical networks.

　　FC connector

　　Features: Fixed joints with metal threads ensure good mechanical stability and connection reliability.

　　Application: It is often used in scenarios with high docking accuracy, such as testing equipment, precision instruments, etc., and is also suitable for environments that require high stability and vibration resistance.

　　Fourth, ST connector

　　Features: Simple type connector, bayonet type fixing method, easy to install and remove.

　　Applications: Early local area networks and fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) systems were more common, but they were also suitable for traditional networking and telecommunications infrastructure.

　　MPO/MTP connector

　　Features: Multi-core fiber optic connectors can simultaneously connect multiple fibers (usually 12-core, 24-core, etc.), greatly simplifying the wiring process and improving work efficiency.

　　Applications: Widely used in high-density cabling systems, especially where multi-core optical fibers need to be connected, such as high-speed interconnections in data centers.

　　Other connector models

　　In addition to the common connector models mentioned above, there are also some less common forms of pigtail connectors, such as E2000 connectors (with dustproof and anti-misinsertion functions, usually used in environments with high safety and high cleanliness requirements), DIN connectors, and DIN connectors. 47256 connectors (European standard, mainly used in parts of Europe and Asia), MT-RJ connectors (SMall dual-core fiber optic connectors with push-pull connections), and MU connectors (smaller fiber optic connectors, smaller than SC connectors, suitable for high-density installation environments), etc.

　　In summary, there are various types of pigtail joints, and the selection needs to be comprehensively considered according to specific application scenarios, network architecture, cost budget and other factors. At the same time, in order to ensure network performance, it is also necessary to pay attention to the quality of pigtail and the cleanliness of the joints, and conduct regular maintenance and inspection.
