New LC Quad Double Deck 4 Port SM 4 Core UPC OM3 OM4 Fiber Optic Adapter

Newsun Tech supply Quad LC Double deck Optical Adapter

Quad LC Double deck Optical Adapter

The new Quad LC Adapter provides multiple connection options from a single adapter Designed for high-density applications, the quad LC adapter provides a 4-position LC adapter solution. Four LC ports are provided in 1 adapter, allowing for multiple LC connectors to be mated within the adapter. Connection options include 4 simplex LC connectors, 2 simplex and 1 duplex LC connectors or 2 duplex LC connectors.

The quad LC adapter is available in either a snap mount or screw-mount installation style. 

Separate four shutters on each side of the adapter are available as an eye-safety option, providing protection even when the adapter is not fully populated. The adapter is available with either Phosphor Bronze or Zirconia Ceramic Step sleeves to accommodate either single mode, multimode or Angle Polish (APC) connectors. The quad LC adapter is the newest addition to this robust small form-factor product family. Products include simplex and duplex connectors, adapters and cable assemblies. Double deck design of the quad LC adapter are suit to connect double quantity LC duplex patch cords. And update to double deck shape which can expand Max. Core in panels and cabinets.

Of the many components in optical networking system, fiber optic adapter may be the least conspicuous one, which tends to be ignored by IT mangers and directors. Though it is small, we can still not deny the fact that fiber optic adapter is of vital importance to the whole operating system for optical networks. 

A fiber optic adapter also called fiber optic coupler, is a medium component which is used to terminate the fiber optic cables or fiber optic connectors between two fiber optic lines. They come in versions to connect single fibers together (simplex), two fibers together (duplex), or sometimes four fibers together (quad). Fiber optic adapters are employed in optical distribution frame (ODF), fiber optic communications equipment, measuring appliance and, so on. There are many types of fiber optic adapters, because of the diversity of the connectors, including female to female fiber adapters and female to male type fiber adapters. If a fiber optic adapter fits two different kinds of fiber connectors, it is called hybrid fiber optic adapters, such as LC to SC hybrid adapter.

LC adapters can be used for the connection of LC patch cables or LC connectors. There are different types including LC to LC, LC to FC, LC to SC, LC to ST, and LC to MU, etc. All these adapters can be available in simplex, duplex, quad, single-mode, multimode, UPC, APC, PC with plastic housing, zirconia sleeve, and optional bronze sleeve.

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. This can cause misalignment of the small singlemode fibers and loss of signal strength (attenuation).

When connecting two multimode fibers, you should always make sure they are the same core diameter (50/125 or 62.5/125). A mismatch here will cause attenuation in one direction (where the larger fiber is transmitting light into the smaller fiber). Most adapters are female on both ends, to connect two cables. Some are male-female, which typically plug into a port on a piece of equipment. 

By linking two connectors precisely, fiber optic adapters allow the light sources to be transmitted at most and lower the loss as much as possible. At the same time, fiber optic adapters have the merits of low insertion loss, good interchangeability and reproducibility.
