Fiber Optic Connector Knowledge Assessment

The video tutorial discusses various fiber optic connectors used in large computing environments and data centers. It covers the LC connector, which is compact and allows for more interfaces on a switch, the ST connector known for its straight tip and bayonet connection, and the SC connector, which is often referred to as a subscriber or square connector. Each connector type is explained in terms of its structure and usage in network connections.

What is a common use of fiber optics in large computing environments?

• To provide power to servers

• To connect wireless devices

• To cool down the systems

• To establish high-speed data connections

Why is having a smaller connector beneficial in network connections?

• It reduces the cost of the switch

• It allows more interfaces on the same switch

• It increases the speed of data transfer

• It improves the durability of the connection

What does an LC connector typically contain?

• A single fiber connection

• Two separate fiber connections

• Three fiber connections

• Four fiber connections

What is the primary function of the two separate connections in an LC connector?

• They are used for power supply

• Both are used for receiving data

• Both are used for transmitting data

• One is for transmitting and the other for receiving

What is another name for the ST connector?

• Single Tip Connector

• Secure Tip Connector

• Straight Tip Connector

• Square Tip Connector

How does the ST connector secure its connection?

• With a clip-on mechanism

• With a magnetic lock

• With a screw mechanism

• With a quarter turn bayonet connection

What does the SC in SC connector stand for?

• Subscriber Connector

• Secure Connector

• Single Connector

• Standard Connector

What is a distinguishing feature of the SC connector?

• It is the smallest connector

• It has a square shape

• It is the most expensive connector

• It has a round shape

Can SC connectors be used as separate runs?

• Only with special adapters

• Only in certain conditions

• No, they are always combined

• Yes, they can be separated
