A fiber optic adapter, also known as a fiber coupler, is a passive device used to connect and align two optical fiber connectors. It enables optical signals to pass from one fiber to another with minimal loss, ensuring stable and reliable communication. It can achieve the conversion between FC/PC, FC/APC, SMA fiber optic connectors and standard SM series threaded connectors or C-Mount threaded, as well as the conversion. Couplers can also be made from bulk optics, for example in the form of microlenses and beam splitters, which can be coupled to fibers (“fiber pig-tailed”). Constructed of light weight yet durable plastic, these couplers can be mounted in a 0. Multiple connector options available.
