Fiber Optic Couplers and AdaptersThese devices are used to join together individual connectorized fiber assemblies. They are often used in a patch panel and are mounted on sub-panels. If the two fiber assemblies to be connected have the same style fiber connectors (ST to ST, SC to SC, etc.) then the connecting device is called a coupler.

The alignment sleeve is the most critical component of a fiber optic adapter. Bronze sleeves are more durable but the precision is not as good as ceramic. Ceramic ferrules offer a more precise alignment, but they are somewhat less durable. Bronze alignment sleeves are commonly used in multimode applications where precision alignment is not as critical.
