Fiber Optic Adapter/Attenuators

Fiber Optical Metal SC UPC Singlemode Duplex Coupler With Full Flange And Laser Warning Shutter

Item Description

A fiber connector is one of the most common components in today’s fiber optic networks. To address the need for a dust-free environment, a dust shutter is placed over the end of an LC or SC adapter. The shutter automatically opens when a plug is inserted and closes when the fiber port is removed, providing a dust-free connection. Unlike the regular fiber adatper, the shuttered adapter has a shutter mechanism to help prevent contaminants from entering the ferrule end face. The use of a dust shutter adapter helps to ensure a dust-free connection. This is especially important in data center applications where there is a need to protect sensitive equipment from dust and other contaminants. These shuttered adapters keep the fiber end interior clean and dry, which is critical to maintaining a high-quality connection. The second reason to use a dust shutter adapter is to help protect the eye from the laser light emitted from the end of the fiber optic cable. Without a dust shutter, the laser light can reflect off dust particles and enter the eye, potentially causing damage. The shutters will open and close automatically with the plug insertion and removal, which is easy to use. The SC shuttered adapter is one of the most common adapters used in fiber optic networks. It utilizes an integral hands-free shutter mechanism that protects the behind-the-wall connector from dust contamination when the fiber port is not in use. Optcore could provide this shuttered fiber adapter with simplex SC, duplex SC or Quad SC type.
