Understanding hybrid optic adapters

Different types of fiber optic connectors and cable assemblies are used in various applications. Hybrid adapters eliminate the need to change connectors as they interconnect two different connector types such as SC-ST or FC-SC. Hybrid fiber optic adapters are available in different combinations such as SC-FC, SC-ST, and FC-ST and are generally available in plastic or metal housings. They can be singlemode or multimode and in simplex and duplex styles. Read more...

Understanding SC adapters

An optical fiber adapter is designed to join two fiber optic connectors together. They offer point to point connection between not just connectors, but also fiber optic patch cords, fiber optic pigtails and many other fiber optic equipment. Read more.
