Fiber Adapters

Types of Adapters: There are several types of fiber optic adapters, including: Simplex: Connects two fibers. Duplex: Allows the connection of two pairs of fibers simultaneously, typically used for transmitting and receiving signals. Quad: Facilitates the connection of four fibers, often used in high-density environments.

Connector Types: Adapters are designed to match specific connector types, such as LC, SC, ST, FC, MTP/MPO, etc. Each connector type has its own adapter type to ensure proper alignment and connection.

Alignment Method: Adapters use various alignment methods to ensure precise alignment between connected fibers. Common alignment methods include: Physical Contact (PC): Uses a physical connection between the fiber end faces. Ultra Physical Contact (UPC): Provides a more refined surface finish for better optical performance. Angled Physical Contact (APC): Uses an angled end face to minimize back reflection.
