Home>>Fiber Optic Assemblies>Adapters

• An optical fiber adapter or uniter is used to mate two connectors together, usually mounted in a distribution panel or wall box.
  SofeTEK optical fiber adapters are precision made to ensure the perfect alignment of connectors, reducing insertion loss. In most cases the sleeve is the critical part of the system that aligns the ferrule parts of the connectors, keeping the fibers in perfect alignment.
  Generally there are 2 types of alignment sleeve within an adapter, phosphor bronze for multimode or zirconia (ceramic) for singlemode.
  In the case of the MT-RJ and MTP™MPO the alignment is carried out by two guide pins fitted to one of the connectors. The adapter is purely to support and lock the connectors together in the distribution panel or wall box.
