Hybrid optical fiber adapter for connecting single-mode or multi-mode fibers with SC/UPC and FC/UPC connectors. It is commonly used in distribution frames to connect patch cords with pigtails fused to the optical fiber cable.

• Multi-mode fibers: Allow the propagation of light modes of different sizes.
• Dispersion: Multi-mode dispersion causes signal broadening and affects transmission speed and distance.
• Suitable solution: When transmission over distances not exceeding 5 km is required.
• Single-mode adapters: Equipped with a ceramic alignment element and manufactured more precisely than multi-mode adapters.
