What type of connector is used to make optical fibers in fiber optic cables

A fiber optic connector is a mechanical device used to align and join optical fibers end-to-end, holding clean fiber ends in place so light can pass with minimal signal loss. Good connectors use tiny ceramic ferrules to precisely center each fiber core. They come in various types like SC, LC, ST, and MTP, each designed for specific. Compared to Copper cables, Fiber connector types are incredibly varied. Where copper twisted pairs tend to terminate with an RJ45 plug, fiber optic connectors come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, with all manner of different use cases in mind. [pdf]
