When buying adapter fiber optic, many customer may to share the data sheet with them. So what is on the data sheet? And why every customer need the data sheet?
Fiber optic parameter tables typically list details such as product dimensions, packaging, and technical specifications. Customers can refer to these tables to determine if meet their needs and decide on a purchase. To better serve our customers, Yingda provides a clear table for each adapter fiber optic.
Let’s take below adapter table as an example to explain several key parameters.

The main technical specifications of adapter fiber optic include interface compatibility, performance indicators, and physical characteristics, below will introduce one by one:
Adapter Fiber Optic Interface Type
Adapters must be compatible with various fiber optic connector interfaces, such as FC (metal thread lock), SC (square plastic housing), LC (small high-density), and ST (bayonet screw lock), to ensure compatibility with other devices.
Adapter Fiber Optic Endface Polishing
There are 3 types of fiber end face: PC (micro-sphere), UPC (ultra-flat), and APC (8° tilt angle).
- UPC and APC are both used for single mode fiber. And APC (green housing) has a return loss of ≤-60dB and is suitable for high-sensitivity scenarios such as CATV/PON.
- PC is mainly used for multimode fiber, according to the different fiber type, the adapter housing color differs. OM1/OM2 beige, OM3 Aqua, OM4 Violet / rose red, OM5 Lime green.
Adapter Fiber Optic Performance Specifications
The standard insertion loss ≤0.2dB, which ensures signal transmission efficiency and supports 10G/40G high-speed transmission, meeting modern network demands.
Yingda fiber adapter attenuation control achieved through rigorous testing, minimizes power loss.
Adapter Fiber Optic Material and Physical Properties
- The ceramic sleeve utilizes Grade A zirconium dioxide and features precise alignment (tensile strength 2-6N) to ensure end-face stability.
- The housing is available in either engineering resin or metal, with a Class V flame-retardant design for enhanced safety.
Adapter Fiber Optic Durability and Standards
Yingda fiber optic adapters passed dual 85℃high and low temperature aging tests (85% humidity), complying with international standards such as ANSI/TIA-568-C.3, ensuring long-term reliability.
Adapter Fiber Optic Package Type
Yingda will configure different packaging methods according to the specific products.
Plastic Bag: 50pcs/bag
Plastic bag: 1pc/bag (hybrid adapter)
Blister box: 25pcs/box
