Fiber optic adapters precisely connect two connectors, ensuring minimal loss while transmitting more light sources. They are primarily used to link fiber optic patch cords with either other patch cords or equipment. So, what specific types are there? Let's take a look together with Kunshan Guangjin:

FC Fiber Optic Adapter:It features an external metal sleeve and screw-fastening mechanism. The FC connector utilizes a ceramic pin for docking. Although this connector has a simple structure and easy operation, its fiber end faces are sensitive to dust and prone to Fresnel reflection, making it challenging to improve return loss performance. Later, improvements were made by adopting a spherical end face for the pin (PC), significantly enhancing insertion and return loss performance while maintaining the same external structure.

SC Fiber Optic Adapter:Its housing is rectangular, with the pin and coupling sleeve dimensions identical to the FC type. The pin's end face is often polished using PC or APC methods. It employs a push-pull locking mechanism, eliminating the need for rotation. Equipped with metal clips, it can be covertly installed. This adapter is cost-effective, easy to use, with minimal insertion loss fluctuation, high crush resistance, and high installation density.

ST Fiber Optic Adapter:It features a key-locked latching structure to ensure accurate alignment during connection, with strong tensile strength and metal positioning to enhance repeatability and durability. Its rectangular structure facilitates convenient screw-in rivet installation.

LC Fiber Optic Adapter:It employs a user-friendly modular RJ latch mechanism. Its small pin and sleeve dimensions increase the density of fiber optic connectors in patch panels. With precision ceramic sleeves, it ensures long-term stable mechanical and optical performance.
