More introduction of optical fiber adapter?


by www.fiber-mart.com
The adapter is mainly in the optical fiber exposure in the implementation of the same or different fiber optic connector connector, so that under very little loss in the implementation of smooth flow. It fits the two sections of the fiber precisely so that the light energy emitted by the emitted fiber can be coupled to the receiving fiber to the maximum extent and minimizes the impact on the system due to its involvement in the optical link.
 
Usually we say the adapter, also known as fiber coupler, fiber optic flange, fiber optic connector. AC, FC, SC, ST, LC, MU, MPO and other types of connectors, including FC, SC, ST, LC is currently on the market commonly used in four kinds of joints, SC, LC can do duplex adapter, and LC duplex Adapter with more.
 
This section will guide you how to distinguish between different adapters, and how to quickly select the desired product by appearance color.
 
(1) connector type
 
AP / UPC, LC / UPC, LC / APC, FC / UPC, FC / APC, ST / UPC, where APC, UPC refers to the shape of the fiber end (grinding method).
 
Connector type, model characteristics, material, advantages
 
SC standard square joints, plastic, high temperature, not easy to oxidation
 
LC square connector, smaller than the SC connector half, plastic, high temperature, not easy to oxidation
 
FC standard round connector metal, repeatability and durability
 
ST with key lock lock structure, metal repeatability and durability
 
Grinding method
 
UPC connector cross section is flat
 
APC oblique 8 degree angle polishing
 
“/” Indicates the type of fiber adapter adapter that applies. “/” Behind that fiber optic fiber cross-section process, that is, grinding method.
 
(2) the appearance of color distinction
 
SC, LC adapter: UPC is blue, APC is green, this is the color of the product ontology. FC adapter: UPC is red, APC is green, this is the color of the product dust cap. ST adapter: UPC is yellow, this is the color of the product dust cap.
