Fiber Optic Adaptor
Pictures of Fiber Optic Adaptor
The fiber optic adaptor is a passive optical device that is usually placed between two connector plugs to form a plug-adaptor-plug connection. There are manufacturers who confuse the adaptor with the fiber optic coupler, which is quite misleading. What the adaptor does is to join two optical fibers together by physically aligning two connectors for mating.
Depending on the type of connectors it accepts, the adaptor can be divided into different types including FC, SC, LC, and MU. Built with high strength and weather resistance, XINSHENG fiber optic adaptor uses quality ceramic ferrule, which looks like a protruding sleeve, to hold the connector and aligns two connectors for mating. Typical uses for this fiber optic mating adaptor are on communications networks, data transmission systems, testing equipment, and fiber optic LAN for CATV.
