ESCON: Abbreviation for Enterprise Systems Connection, an optical connector used for computer to computer data exchange (antiquated).
Ethernet: Protocol (according to IEEE 802.3) for a 10Mb/s baseband local area network (LAN) bus using carrier sense multiple access with collision detection as the access method. Ethernet is a standard for using various transmission media.
Excess Loss: Term for expressing the portion of light signal that does not emerge from the cumulative ports of a fiber optic coupler.
Extrinsic Loss: The loss in a fiber optic system that is not intrinsic to the fiber itself.
FC: A type of threaded fiber optic connector. FC/PC refers to an FC connector with a PC polish, FC/APC refers to an FC connector with an APC polish.
FDDI: Abbreviation for Fiber Distributed Data Interface. A connector used in a dual counter-rotating ring local area network.
Ferrule: The part of a connector that aligns and works as a terminus for the fiber.
FTTC (Fiber to the Curb): Term for fiber optic service to a node connected by coax to a group of nearby homes.
FTTH (Fiber to the Home): Term for fiber optic service to a node located in a home.
FOTP (Fiber Optic Test Procedure): Standards for testing fiber optic systems, developed by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA).
Fresnel Reflection: Reflection loss at the end of a fiber caused by the difference in the index of refraction between glass and air (maximum reflection loss at a perpendicular air-glass interface is about -14dB).
Fusion Splicer: An instrument that permanently bonds two fibers by heating the ends and stuffing them together.
