Hybrid optical fiber adapter for connecting single-mode or multimode fibers with LC/UPC and FC/UPC connectors. Typically used in distribution panels, for connecting patch cords with pigtails fused to the optical fiber cable.

• Multimode fibers allow the propagation of light modes of different sizes.
• Multimode dispersion causes signal broadening and affects transmission speed and distance.
• An suitable solution when transmission over distances of more than 5 km is not required.
• Single-mode adapters feature a ceramic alignment element and are manufactured more precisely than multimode ones.
