Passive connector-alignment components for SC, LC, FC, ST, MPO, and hybrid fiber optic connections in patch panels, ODFs, and distribution boxes.
Fiber optic adapters are passive components used to align and connect two fiber optic connectors in patch panels, ODFs, terminal boxes, wall outlets, telecom rooms, data centers, and fiber distribution systems. Available interface types include SC, LC, FC, ST, MPO, and hybrid options. Sleeve material, housing type, color, flange design, and packaging should be confirmed according to the project requirement.
