Utilize a bayonet style mating concept to provide a secure, robust coupling mechanism.
The enclosed spiral slotted coupling nut allows easy insertion in densely packed patch
panels. The ST connector has been used extensively in telecom, data and premise
installation applications and could easily be considered a de facto standard.

Utilize a push pull retention feature enabling easy insertion and removal, making it
ideally suited for high density.
The SC connector features an internal cavity that virtually eliminates the possibility of
improper epoxy application, thus providing higher manufacturing yields.

These connectors utilize the familiar RJ-45 style latching mechanism. As a small form
factor (SFF) connector, the LC connector is almost half the size of the popular SC
connector. With accelerated growth demanding greater bandwidth in less physical
space, LC connectors have emerged as a viable solution for high density frames and
patch panels.
