Optical Fiber Adapters

Description

An optical fiber adapter or uniter is used to mate two connectors together, usually mounted in a distribution panel or wall box. In most cases it is the critical part of the system that aligns the ferrule part of the connectors keeping the fibers in perfect alignment.

Generally there are two types of alignment sleeve within an adapter, phosphor bronze for multi-mode or zirconia (ceramic) for single mode. In the case of the MT-RJ and MPO the alignment is carried out by two small pins fitted to one of the connectors, the adapter is purely to support and lock the connectors together in the distribution panel or wall box.

Adapters:

ST
/ FC / SC / E2000 / LC / MTRJ / MPO / HYBRID



ST Adapter

The ST has connector and adapter set the standard for optical fiber interconnects. With its simple to use bayonet locking mechanism preventing accidental disconnection and precision housing for optimum performance.

FC Adapter

The FC connector and adapter set are mainly used for singlemode applications were precision is required. With its simple to use locking thread mechanism preventing accidental disconnection, this provides a very secure connection.

E2000 Adapter

The E2000 connector and adapter have set the standard for optical fiber interconnect. With a shutter on both the connector and adapter to prevent laser eye damage the E2000 offers features no other connector can match. The E2000 also has a latched lever mechanism to prevent accidental disconnection.

LC Adapter

The LC connector and adapter set the standard for small optical fiber interconnects. With its simple to use latched lever locking mechanism preventing accidental disconnection and precision housing for optimum performance. The LC was also the first Small Form Factor (SFF) connector set available and offers fiber density and performance unheard before now.

MTRJ Adapter

The MTRJ connector and adapter use a different alignment mechanism to the traditional ceramic ferule connectors. The alignment is performed through guide pins which are attached to the optical fiber connector. The MTRJ adapter is used to hold the guide pins in place and offer coarse alignment. The adapter offers a secure connection to hold the connectors in place to prevent accidental disconnection.

MPO Adapter

The MPO connector and adapter use a different alignment mechanism to the traditional ceramic ferule connectors. The alignment is performed through guide pins which are attached to the optical fiber connector. The MPO adapter is used to hold the connector in place and offer coarse alignment. The adapter offers a secure connection to hold the connectors in place to prevent accidental disconnection.
