Frequently Asked Questions
What does the no-flange design mean?
It means the adapter does not have the protruding mounting wings used to screw the adapter to a faceplate, making it ideal for slide-in or snap-in applications in high-density panels.
Are these suitable for multimode fiber?
These specific adapters are configured for singlemode applications using zirconia sleeves. Multimode versions are available separately.
What is the purpose of the zirconia sleeve?
Zirconia provides superior hardness and precision alignment compared to other materials, which is critical for reducing insertion loss in singlemode fiber connections.
Can I use these with APC connectors?
These are standard blue adapters. For APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors, green adapters are typically required to maintain proper alignment and color-coding.
Are these adapters reusable?
Yes, they are designed for repeated insertion and removal cycles, provided that the connector end-faces are kept clean.
