Fiber Optic Adapter, are also known as Fiber Optic Mating Sleeves and fiber optic couplers. The fiber optic adapter provides a connection between fiber optic pigtails and fiber optic patchcords to fiber optic equipment with high precision. Performance is dictated by how accurately the fibers are aligned. UnitekFiber provides a series of high quality fiber optic adapter, like LC, ST, FC, SC, MPO fiber optic adapter. Standard fiber optic adapters are simplex, duplex and quad structure, flange and flange-less type.
A fiber optic adapter or coupler is a special connector designed to mate or connect two ends of a fiber optic cable with high precision. The optical adapter uses a simple design: the ends of two separate fiber optic cables with fiber optic connectors fit into two slots opposite each other. The slots are designed to precisely align the two ends so that there is minimal to no signal loss. They have a single fiber connector (simplex), dual fiber connector (duplex) or sometimes four fiber connector (quad) versions. The optical fiber adapter can be inserted into different types of optical connectors at both ends of the optical fiber adapter to realize the conversion between different interfaces such as FC, SC, ST, LC, MTRJ, MPO and E2000, and is widely used in optical fiber distribution frames (ODFs) Instruments, providing superior, stable and reliable performance.
Fiber Optic Adapter|Mating Sleeves are components used to split/combine optical signals or to extend fiber links. A fiber optical adapter is a device that is detach-ably connected between fiber and fiber. The fiber optical adapter precisely pairs the two end faces of the fiber so that the optical energy output from the transmitting fiber can be coupled to the receiving fiber to the maximum extent and its optical link is minimized to minimize the impact on the system.
Optic mating sleeves are the most used optical passive components in fiber optic systems. The requirements for the fiber adapter are mainly small insertion loss, high reflection loss, good repeatability, environmental stability and good mechanical properties. Since fiber optic adapters are also a lossy product, they are also required to be inexpensive. Typical applications include communications, local area network (LAN), fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), high-quality video transmission, fiber optic sensing, test instrumentation, CATV, and more.
Fiber optic adapters can be divided into common single mode and multi-mode fiber optic adapters according to different transmission media. According to the connection structure, the fiber optic coupler can be divided into FC, SC, ST, LC, MPO,MTP, MTRJ, DIN, MU, MT, etc.; The shape of the end face of the fiber is divided into PC UPC and APC type. According to the number of fiber cores, there are also simplex (single fiber) and duplex (dual fiber) fiber optic adapters.
