Fiber Optic Adapter/Attenuators

LC/UPC Optic Fiber Connector SM Male-FC/UPC Fema Round Flange Adapter/ Couplerle 

Product Description

Fiber optic adapters are typically designed to connect two fiber optic patch cables together. They come in various types, most adapters are female on both ends to connect two patch cables, while some adapters are male to female which allow the port to accept a different connector than for which it was originally designed, and we also assemble hybrid adapters which accept different types of connects. FC-LC Fiber Optic Converter (UPC). Fiber optic adapters, also named fiber optic couplers, are designed to align two fiber optic connectors. Fiber Optic adapters are typically linked to two fiber cables with the same connectors, SC to SC, LC to LC, FC to FC, ST to ST, etc… some other adapters are used to link two different connectors, it is called a hybrid adapter. SC to ST, SC to FC, SC to LC, etc… when the connectors have different ferrule sizes, it is more complicated to mate them with low loss, So the adapter is more expensive, for example, SC to LC adapter. Most fiber optic adapters are female to female, to link two pre-terminated cables. Some others are female-male, which is typically plugged into a port on the equipment/instrument. It allows the port to accept a different connector than the one originally designed. The key part of an adapter is the sleeve that holds the two ferrules to make two connectors aligned precisely. The performance of an adapter is mainly dependent on the sleeve quality.
