Straight-Tip (ST) "T for Twist"

This is an older bayonet style fiber connector widely used with multimode fiber.

Lucent Connector (LC) "C for Click"

This is sometimes called a little or local connector. It is quickly growing in popularity due to its smaller size. It is used with single-mode fiber and also supports multimode fiber.

Subscriber Connector (SC)

This is sometimes referred to as square connector or standard connector. It is a widely adopted LAN and WAN connector that uses a push-pull mechanism to ensure positive insertion. This connector type is used with multimode and single-mode fiber.
