Adapters and Receptacles

Fiber optic adapters are essential components used to connect two fiber optic connectors of the same or different types, ensuring proper alignment and minimal signal loss that come in various configurations, such as simplex, duplex, or quad, and are designed to accommodate specific connector styles like SC, LC, or ST.

Fiber optic receptacles are fixed sockets or ports designed to accept a connector and provide a stable interface between a fiber optic cable and an optoelectronic device, such as a transceiver or switch. They are commonly found in equipment panels and ensure secure, repeatable connections while maintaining alignment for optimal signal transfer.

Adapters are typically used in patch panels, enclosures, or test equipment, providing a reliable and reusable solution for linking fiber optic cables in communication networks.Receptacles are tailored to specific connector types, like LC or MPO, depending on the application.
