Learn about different fiber optic adapters
641 2022-07-12
Optical fiber connectors are the most used optical passive components in optical fiber communication systems. Most optical fiber connectors are composed of three parts: two optical fiber connectors and a coupler. Two fiber optic connectors fit into the two fiber ends; the coupler acts as an alignment sleeve. In addition, couplers are mostly equipped with metal or non-metal flanges to facilitate the installation and fixation of connectors.

Both ends of the fiber optic adapter can be inserted into fiber optic connectors of different interface types to realize the conversion between different interfaces such as FC, SC, ST, LC, MTRJ, MPO, E2000, etc. It is widely used in optical fiber distribution frames (ODF), optical fiber communication equipment, Instruments, etc., superior performance, stable and reliable. Some people on the market call fiber optic adapters also fiber optic connectors, but these are actually two different products.

The optical fibers are connected by the adapter through its inner opening sleeve to ensure the highest connection performance between the optical fiber connectors. In order to be fixed on various panels, a variety of fine fixing flanges are also designed.
The two ends of the conversion adapter can be connected to fiber optic connectors of different interface types, and provide the connection between the APC end faces. The double or multiple adapters can increase the installation density and save space.
