Which fiber optic connector is commonly described as 'Lift-and-click' and is used for fiber connections?

• A. LC Connector Fiber
• B. SC Connector
• C. ST Connector
• D. FC Connector

Answer: (A)

LC fiber optic connectors use a small form factor with a spring-loaded latch. You lift the little latch and then insert the connector, and you hear or feel a distinct click as it locks into the receptacle. This lift-and-click action is a defining cue of the LC design, making it quick and secure for dense patch panels and SFP-based links, and it works with both single-mode and multimode fibers. By contrast, other connectors use different locking methods: ST relies on a bayonet twist, SC uses a push-pull snap, and FC uses a threaded screw-on.
