Fiber optic adaptors, couplers

Fiber optic adapters (also called couplers) are designed to connect two fiber optic cables together. They come in versions to connect single fibers together (simplex), two fibers together (duplex), or sometimes four fibers together (quad).

Adapters are designed for multimode or singlemode cables. The singlemode adapters offer more precise alignment of the tips of the connectors (ferrules). It is ok to use singlemode adapters to connect multimode cables, but you should not use multimode adapters to connect singlemode cables.

When connecting two multimode fibers, you should always make sure they are the same core diameter (50/125 or 62.5/125).

Fiber optic adapters are typically connecting cables with similiar connectors (SC to SC, LC to LC, etc.). Some adapters, called "hybrid", accept different types of connectors (FC to SC, LC to SC, etc.). When the connectors have differing ferrule sizes (1.25mm to 2.5mm), as found in LC to SC adapters, the adapters are significantly more expensive because of a more complicated design/manufacturing process.

Pigtails

Fiber optic pigtail is a fiber optic cable terminated with a factory-installed connector on one end, leaving the other end terminated. The connector side can be linked to equipment and the other side melted with optical fiber cables. Fiber optic pigtail are utilized to terminate fiber optic cables via fusion or mechanical splicing. Fiber optic pigtails are usually found in fiber optic management equipment like ODF, fiber terminal box and distribution box.
Fiber optic pigtails are available in various types: Grouped by pigtail connector type, there are LC fiber optic pigtails, SC fiber pigtails and FC fiber pigtails, etc. By fiber type, there are single-mode fiber optic pigtail and multimode fiber optic pigtail.

Splice trays

Splice trays are designed to hold individual or mass fusion spliced fibers. These trays are typically installed within fiber optic enclosures and patch panels.

Fast connectors

The fast connector is a pre-polished connector which uses mechanical clamping and aligning of a cleaved fibre end which is inserted into the connector body. The fast connector is available in a variety of connector types.

Protection sleeve

The protection sleeve is meant to protect the splice joint and exposed fiber after the splice has been completed. Fusion splicing is a process where two optical fibers are aligned and then joined together by melting the optical glass in a controlled manner.

Blank covers for unused ODF ports

Dust cover for fiber optic patch panel for SC/FC simplex adaptor. Avoid dust and dirt by using these caps on the unused ports.
