Connecting fiber optic cable with ''SC'' type connectors

I purchased a fiber optic cable with ''SC'' connectors to connect fiber optic ports on a new HD TV and the system Denon receiver. The product manuals recommend this connection scheme for enabling the TV audio to play through the system 3.1 speaker set up.The connector appears to be the right type but it doesn't fit securely in the socket. Isn't it supposed to detent or click in position? It just sort of sits there loosely. I haven't wanted to force fit this thing and break something.

How do you hook up sound bar to a element tv?

That depends on the inputs on the sound bar. Some have both RCA style connectors and others have a fiber optic cable only. If your TV has an optical output connection (may be covered so the red led doesn't shine on a wall) Obtain the cable needed for your particular setup and connect them. In the audio setup section of your TV you have to select external or optical to energize the port you're connected to

And make sure its impact can be minimized because of its involvement in the optical link system , which is the basic requirements for fiber optic connectors. To a certain extent, fiber optic connectors also affected the reliability and the performance of fiber optical transmission systems.

Fiber optic connector according to the different transmission media can be divided into common silicon-based optical fiber single-mode and multimode connectors, as well as other issues such as plastic and as the transmission medium of optical fiber connector; connector structure can be divided into: FC,SC, ST, LC, D4, DIN, MU, the MT and so on . The ST connector is usually used to the end of wiring devices, such asfiber optic patch panels, optical transceiver; SC and MT connector typically used for network equipment side. Fiber end shape in the FC, PC (including SPC or UPC) and APC; divided by the number of the fiber core as well as single and multi-core(such as MT-RJ) points.

Fiber optics termination

If it is loose tube cable, than you can do it in two ways. First using SC SM pigtails, which should be spliced on each fiber (don't forget that you need to protect the splice itself and protect bare fibers puttung them in same cassete or tray or ....) or the other way using "break out system" which will give your bare fibers more protection but the SC connectors can be mounted directly on the fiber in this system. Cheaper and preferable way is the first one.
If it is tight buffered cable there is also two ways of termination. First, directly mount SC connector on a fiber (no need for break out system) or splice SC SM pigtails. Cheaper and preferable way is the first one.
Good luck!
