Optical Connectors
There are many optical connectors on the market. There are also different ways the optical cable is terminated such as
“Flat” and “Angled”. We use only use APC type of connectors Angled Precision encountered in the field is the use of

together but the optical loss will be in the neighborhood of 10 dB.
