Optical adapters MU
- More products
Optical adapters are designed for connection or interconnection of connectors set on optical connecting and installation cords. They are used in patchpannels of optical distribution frames, active equipment, and meters. Adapters of types FC, SC, ST, LC, E-2000 are always in line (i.e. they have connectors on both sides) and serves also for precise centring of ferrulas of connectors. Ferrulas are centered in special slugs, which are made from bronze for multi-mode adapters, and from ceramic – for single-mode. Adapters for connectors with angle surfacing (APC) require more strict case size tolerance, especially for elements fixing connector and its key. Adapters MT-RJ may be both in-line and terminating, i.e. connector is patched directly with the cable. Centering in MT-RJ connectors is made by precise guiding tips.
