Is there a standard connector? Are they manufacturer dependent?

There are standards, but many of them. There are a few that are pretty broadly standard, and generally manufacturer independent, but not always. You tend to buy from the manufacturer of your switch or whatever device it is.

@mary It depends on what you have, some Cisco Switches came with GBIC others (now in time) come with SPF.

And now SFP+
(SPF is sunscreen levels, SFP/SFP+ are the adapters.)
