Optical fiber adapter advantage

Updated on Mon Dec 09 2024

Fiber optic adapters are also called fiber optic couplers and fiber optic flanges, and they are called differently in different places. It mainly implements the docking of the same or different optical fiber active connectors in the optical fiber exposure, so that the optical path can be smoothed with little loss. It can precisely butt the two sections of the fiber, so that the light energy output from the transmitting fiber can be coupled to the receiving fiber to the maximum extent, and the impact on the system caused by its intervention in the optical link is minimized.


Fiber Adapter Advantages

Optical fiber adapters are easy to operate, stable and reliable, long life, easy to maintain, and extremely low price. Responsible for connecting equipment and systems, so that the optical path can be transmitted according to the required channel to complete the intended purpose, and can be disconnected at any time.


The optical fiber connector can precisely butt the two end faces of the optical fiber, so that the light energy output by the transmitting fiber can be coupled to the receiving optical fiber to the maximum extent. To a certain extent, the optical fiber connector also affects the reliability of the optical transmission system and the various item performance.


There are various forms of optical fiber connectors. Generally, the connectors used in EPON networks are APC connectors. The end face of the APC is ground into an 8-degree angle to reduce reflection. The industry standard return loss is -60dB. . APC connectors feature precise, predetermined angles, predetermined radii, and pre-polished ferrules for superior performance and can be used with compact key configurations with or without NTT-FC standards.

Fiber optic adapters have many advantages, which make them play an increasingly important role in fiber optic connections. They are an inconspicuous but critical connection component. They have the characteristics of strong practicability and high cost performance. They are widely used, especially for For applications such as TV network, local area network, video transmission, optical communication system and FTTH optical fiber to the home, optical fiber adapter is a good choice and solution.


Fiber optic adapter cleaning method

1. Dry cleaning: First, insert a dry cleaning rod into the fiber optic adapter, turn it to clean and take it out, then align the cleaning rod with the inside of the sleeve, clean the connector inside the fiber optic adapter, and check whether the end face of the connector has Pollution.


2.Wet cleaning: First, dip the cleaning stick into the fiber cleaning solution, insert the wet cleaning stick into the adapter, and turn the cleaning stick on the surface of the sleeve, then take a dry cotton swab to clean the connections inside the fiber adapter connector, and then check the connector end face for contamination.
