Because there are many types of optical fiber adapters, and the appearance of optical fiber adapters supplied by different suppliers is very similar, you may not know how to choose. In general, when choosing a fiber adapter, you should consider the following two points.
Type of cable to be connected
If the fiber adapter needs to connect the same type of cable as the connector, you can use a fiber adapter with square, rectangular or circular interfaces. If the types of cables to be connected are different, you need to use a hybrid fiber adapter, which can connect any two types of fiber jumpers together. Because there are many kinds of hybrid optical fiber adapters, it is important to determine what type of cable to connect before purchasing.
Material of optical fiber adapter alignment sleeve
The alignment sleeve is the most important part of the optical fiber adapter. Some manufacturers choose metal as the material of the alignment sleeve. However, it has been proved that the use effect of the optical fiber adapter made of ceramic is far better than that of the optical fiber adapter using metal as the alignment sleeve. This is because the crystal structure of ceramic is very hard and will not deform as the metal material over time, so it can achieve rapid alignment, And realize high-precision optical fiber end connection.
