FC FEMALE TO ST FEMALE SIMPLEX FIBER OPTIC ADAPTER

The FC Female to ST Female Simplex Fiber Optic Adapter is a hybrid adapter designed to connect an FC male connector to an ST male connector. It features an FC female port on one end and an ST female port on the other, allowing for the inline connection of FC and ST male terminated fiber optic cables for a single fiber. The internal alignment sleeve, typically made of high-precision ceramic (zirconia), ensures accurate fiber core alignment, minimizing insertion loss and maximizing signal transmission efficiency. This adapter can be used for both single-mode (SM) and multimode (MM) fiber applications, depending on the specific model. The polish type of both the FC and ST female sides (PC, UPC, or APC for FC, and typically PC or UPC for ST) will determine the return loss characteristics of the connection; it is crucial to match the polish types of the connecting cables or equipment to ensure optimal performance and minimize back reflection, especially in sensitive single-mode systems. The adapter housing can be constructed from either metal or plastic, offering durability and reliable operation. This type of adapter is valuable for integrating equipment with different connector interfaces in telecommunications, data centers, testing environments, and other fiber optic systems.
