ST MALE TO SC FEMALE SIMPLEX FIBER OPTIC ADAPTER

The ST Male to SC Female Simplex Fiber Optic Adapter is a hybrid adapter designed to connect an ST female connector to an SC male connector for a single fiber connection. It features an ST male connector on one end, which plugs into an existing ST female port or cable, and an SC female port on the other end to accept an SC 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. 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 ST male and SC female sides (typically PC or UPC for ST, and PC, UPC, or APC for SC) 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.
