ST MALE TO LC FEMALE SIMPLEX FIBER OPTIC ADAPTER

Content/Description: The ST Male to LC Female Simplex Single Mode Fiber Optic Adapter is a hybrid adapter designed to connect an ST female connector to an LC male connector within a single-mode fiber optic network. It features an ST male connector on one end, which plugs into an existing ST female port or cable, and an LC female port on the other end to accept an LC male connector. The internal alignment sleeve, typically made of high-precision ceramic (zirconia), ensures accurate fiber core alignment, minimizing insertion loss and maximizing signal transmission efficiency for single-mode applications. The polish type of both the ST male and LC female sides (typically PC or UPC for ST, and PC, UPC, or APC for LC) 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 single-mode fiber optic systems.
