Fiber Optic Adapter/Attenuators

ST to LC Adapter Coupler Single Mode 9/125Um UPC Female to Hybrid Optical Fiber Connector

Product Description

ST/UPC female to LC/UPC male hybrid simplex single-mode fiber optic adapter. Insertion Loss: less than equal 0.3dB, Return Loss: greater than equal 50dB, Sleeve Material: Zirconia ceramics. This fiber optic adapter can be reused, high precision and good compatibility. Mainly used for telecom network, ethernet network and optical communication equipment. The male-to-female fiber optic adapters inexpensively adapt connector interfaces to new equipment, upgrade distribution panels and eliminate the need to re-terminate cable assemblies. 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.
