As we know, fiber optic connector play an important roles in jointing two fiber links together. Beside the connectors, there is also another item, which is fiber optic adapter (adaptor) generally installed in patch panels, instrument, devices etc for mating two fiber optic connectors.
Fiber Optic Adapters can be classified by form factor like FC/UPC, FC/APC, SC/UPC, SC/APC, ST/UPC, ST/APC, LC/UPC, LC/APC, MT-RJ, MU, E2000 mating sleeves. it also can be classified by standard fiber optic adaptors and hybrid fiber optic adaptors, if it is been classified by fiber optic mode, there are Single mode fiber optic adapters and multimode fiber optic adapters. Fiber optic adapters are used in fiber optic connection, the typical use is to provide a cable to cable fiber connection.
Hybrid fiber optic adapter
Hybrid fiber optic adapters are another type used to link two different kinds of fiber connectors or cable assemblies. For example, LC-F to SC-F hybrid adapter, it can link LC connector at one side and SC connector at the other side. Hybrid fiber adapters can be also used for single mode and multimode fiber optic connections with PC or APC sleeves, in simplex and duplex style, male or female structure.
For a large section of the networking industry, Tarluz manufactures and supply premium quality Hybrid Fiber Optic Adapters. There are various kinds of these types of adapters such as FC, ST, SC, LC, MU, DIN series. Moreover, these adapters are basically used to link two different kinds of fiber optic connectors. Also, these adapters are single mode and multimode types, with PC or APC sleeves, in simplex and duplex style. In addition, these adapters use high precision ceramic sleeves which enable reliable ferrule mating with lower insertion loss.
Bare fiber adapter
Bare fiber adapter is structured with optic fiber on one side and the adapter on the other side. It is used to link the bare fiber core to fiber optic equipment. The adapter side is a connector that can plug into the equipment and enable a quick and easy termination for the optic fiber cable. Because this feature of the bare fiber adapters, they are widely used for emergency situation for fast and temporary fiber optic or urgent connection, testing bare fiber, fiber on the reel, fiber before and after installation and so on. SC, FC, LC.
SC fiber optic adapter
SC (Subscriber Connector or square connector or Standard Connector) fiber optic adapters supplied by tarluz are in single mode and multimode version, simplex and duplex styles. Single mode SC/APC fiber adapters (green color in the body) are also available. As one of the most economic and reliable performance fiber optic connection types, SC fiber optic components are widely used in FTTH, LAN, WAN and test fields.
Tarluz SC fiber optic adapters are complied with IEC definition for fiber optic interfaces SC family and TIA/EIA 604-3-A fiber optic intermateability standards for SC. Our SC fiber optic adapters use premium zirconia sleeves in plastic housing, body colors are as per industrial standards, SC single mode UPC adapter as blue, SC single mode APC adapter as green and SC multimode UPC adapter as beige. Each type has simplex and duplex versions, plastic and metal type.
ST Fiber Optic Adapter
ST (Straight Tip) fiber optic adapters. We are counted as one of the leading manufacturer and supplier of ST Fiber Optic Adapters that are fabricated using high quality raw material, advanced technology and updated machines. These adapters include single mode & multi mode types that are simple & stylish and are also available with zirconia sleeves and optional bronze sleeve for multi mode. Further, these adapters are well known for their fine repeatability, superior interchangeability, excellent stability and Low insertion loss & back reflection loss.
LC Fiber Optic Adapter
LC (Lucent Connector, Little Connector or Local Connector) fiber optic adapters are used with equipment with LC fiber optic connectors, the LC family fiber optic connectors are known as one of the most popular small form fiber optic connectors in the world, they are used for density installations. LC fiber optic adapters with SM and MM types, simplex, duplex and quadrant types. There are stand LC fiber adapter and SC footprint LC fiber optic adapters available.
FC Fiber Optic Adapter
FC (Ferrule Connector or Fiber Channel) fiber optic adapters are metallic body and zirconia sleeves; they are used to link FC fiber optic connectors and components. FC is one of the early developed fiber optic connector types yet it is still widely used today. FC fiber optic adapters and equipment are known for general and average applications in fiber optic communications.We supply FC fiber optic adapters, including square type, single D type and double D types, in single mode and multimode versions. All these adapters are with metal housing and ceramic sleeves, for multimode FC fiber adapter there is optional bronze housing types.
MT-RJ Fiber Optic Adapter
The MT-RJ utilizes two fibers and integrates them into a single design that looks similar to a Black RJ45 modular connector. Alignment is completed through the use of two pins that mate with the connector. Transceiver jacks found on NICs and equipment typically have the pins built into them. Users need to be careful that one connector has alignment pins when mating two MT-RJ cables through a coupler.
MU Fiber oOptic Adapter
MU optic adapter includes MU singlemode optic adapter and MU multimode optic adapter.mu optic adapter is a mechanical device designed to align fiber-optic connectors. It contains the interconnect sleeve, that holds the two ferrules together.MU optic adapter is approximately half the size of an SC coupler and utilize zirconia sleeves for precision alignment.
E2000 Fiber Optic Adapter
E2000 fiber optical adapter implements connection of E2000 fiber connectors in the fiber optic lines.E2000 fiber optical adapter only produce a little loss for implementing optical path smooth. It makes two end face precision docking, which can make light energy from transmitter optical fiber coupled to receiver optical fiber efficiently and will reduce impact to a minimum because of intervention optical link of system.
MTP/MPO fiber optic adapter
MTP/MPO fiber to fiber coupler implements connection of mtp/mpo fiber optic connectors in the fiber optic lines.MTP/MPO fiber to fiber coupler only produce a little loss for implementing optical path smooth. It makes two end face precision docking, which can make light energy from transmitter optical fiber coupled to receiver optical fiber efficiently and will reduce impact to a minimum because of intervention optical link of system.
DIN Fiber Optic Adapter
DIN fiber optic adapter implements connection of din fiber optic connectors in the fiber optic lines.It only produce a little loss for implementing optical path smooth. DIN fiber optic adapter makes two end face precision docking, which can make light energy from transmitter optical fiber coupled to receiver optical fiber efficiently&will reduce impact to a minimum because of intervention optical link of system.
SMA High Power Fiber Optic Adapter
An SMA fiber optic connector is an old first generation fiber optic connector and was based on the existing Radio Frequency (RF) connector widely used in the RF world. This connector type can only be used for multimode cable and generally has poor performance when compared to second generation fiber connectors (SC, ST and FC).
