FC/PC connector. The FC connector is a fiber-optic connector with a threaded body, which was designed for use in high-vibration environments. It is commonly used with both single-mode optical fiber and polarization-maintaining optical fiber. FC connectors are used in datacom, telecommunications, measurement equipment, and single-mode lasers.
The most familiar Fibre Channel connectors are cable connectors, used for interconnects between initiators and targets (usually disk enclosures). There are also "device connectors" that can be found on Fibre Channel disk-drives and backplanes of enclosures. The device connectors include pins for power and for setting disk options.
Optical fiber connectors are used to join optical fibers where a connect/disconnect capability is required. Due to the polishing and tuning procedures that may be incorporated into optical connector manufacturing, connectors are often assembled onto optical fiber in a supplier's manufacturing facility.
The most common types that are added to fiber optic cable in inside plant environments are LC, SC, ST, and FC. Some fiber connectors are pre-polished mechanical connectors for ease of installation or anaerobic connectors which require cleaving and polishing. [1] Once the appropriate connector has been identified, the termination process can begin.
series and parallel circuits Electrical circuits where current passes through multiple elements either one after the other, or side by side, like the rungs of a ladder, or both. shaded-pole motor An alternating current single-phase motor that produces a rotating magnetic field by a turn of wire around part of a field pole. shaft voltage
Connectors on this cable would be designated: 1A1W35P1; 1A1W35P2; ASME Y14.44-2008 continues the convention of Plug P and Jack J when assigning references for electrical connectors in assemblies where a J (or jack) is the more fixed and P (or plug) is the less fixed of a connector pair, without regard to the gender of the connector contacts.
Terminal symbol A terminal strip, to which wires can be soldered. A terminal is the point at which a conductor from a component, device or network comes to an end. [1] Terminal may also refer to an electrical connector at this endpoint, acting as the reusable interface to a conductor and creating a point where external circuits can be connected.
Common circuit diagram symbols (US ANSI symbols) An electronic symbol is a pictogram used to represent various electrical and electronic devices or functions, such as wires, batteries, resistors, and transistors, in a schematic diagram of an electrical or electronic circuit. These symbols are largely standardized internationally today, but may ...
