The main factors for choosing fiber optic connector adapters
The main factors for choosing fiber optic connector adapters:
Type of cable to be connected
If the fiber optic adapter needs to be connected to the same cable type and connector, you can use a fiber optic adapter with a square, rectangular or circular interface. If the types of cables that need to be connected are different, you need to use a hybrid fiber optic adapter. This hybrid fiber optic adapter can connect any two types of fiber optic jumpers together.
Fiber optic adapter alignment sleeve material
The alignment sleeve is the most important part of the fiber optic adapter. Some manufacturers will choose metal as the material for the alignment sleeve. However, it has been proven that the use of ceramic fiber adapters is much better than using metal as the alignment sleeve. This is because the ceramic crystal structure is very hard and will not deform over time like metal materials, so it can achieve rapid alignment and achieve high-precision fiber end-face connection.
