Your network’s performance could hinge upon a fiber coupler. This critical component is often overlooked when upgrading existing networks or throughout the installation of an entirely new network; nevertheless, the result of disregarding the essential could be calamitous. Fiber Savvy carries an extensive selection of advanced, affordable Fiber Optic Coupler products to fulfill the parameters of your established network.
The Importance of the Fiber Adapter
A Fiber Optic Adapter is a device used in optical fiber systems with one or more input fibers and one or several output fibers. Light entering an input fiber can appear at one or more outputs and the power distribution of that fiber could be potentially dependent on wavelength and polarization. For instance, if all involved fibers are single mode (supporting only a single mode per polarization direction for a given wavelength), there are certain physical restrictions on the performance of the coupler employed.
Generally, it is not possible to combine two or more inputs of the same optical frequency into one single-polarization output without significant or excessive losses in transmission. However, such a restriction does not occur for different input wavelengths; there are couplers that can combine two inputs at different wavelengths into one output without exhibiting substantial losses. In this case, a Fiber Optic Adapter is utilized.
Fiber Couplers are made for both single mode and multimode fiber optic cables; simplex and duplex options are also available and fitted with popular connector types, such as SC, LC, and ST. Fiber Couplers can also help increase the distance (range) of your fiber optic patch cables. Once again, this is a crucial consideration for network expansion and upgrades.
