To protect each mating sleeve while it is not in use, the ADAFCB1 includes one CAPF1 Metal Cap and one rubber cap, the ADAFCB2 includes two CAPF1 Metal Caps and two rubber caps, and the ADAFCB5 includes eight rubber caps.įlat FC/PC connectors are significantly less alignment sensitive than their angled FC/APC counterparts, making these wide-key-slot mating sleeves acceptable for narrow and wide key FC/PC connectors. All L-brackets feature 4-40 tap(s) to secure a CAPF1 Metal Cap, available for purchase separately.
Thorlabs' L-Bracket, Wide-Key-Slot Mating Sleeves contain one or, in the case of the quadruple version, two 1/4" (M6) through holes for easy mounting to a post, optical table, or breadboard.

Insertion loss can also be minimized by using our Low-Insertion-Loss SM Patch Cables.įor unconnectorized fiber, our reusable fiber-to-fiber splicing products are useful for creating temporary connections. Thorlabs offers a complete selection of inspection tools and cleaning supplies for optical fiber. The use of our G608N3 Index Matching Gel (sold below) can also help to reduce reflective losses at the fiber connection. These mating sleeve brackets bring the fiber tips into physical contact with each other, with the exception of our SMA mating sleeves. It is important that the fiber tips be clean to minimize connection losses and avoid damage to the connector. In contrast, dual and quadruple L-brackets can help to organize fiber-coupled devices with multiple outputs, such as couplers, circulators, and wavelength division multiplexers (WDMs). Should you require a mating sleeve not shown on this page, such as for LC or SC connectors, it may be available in an unmounted version.Ī single L-bracket is the most compact solution for mounting a mating sleeve using standard optomechanics. Empty L-brackets are also available for custom FC mating sleeve pairings. The mating sleeves sold on this page are premounted in a single, dual, or quadruple L-bracket that provides mechanical compatibility with standard 1/4"-20 (M6) optomechanics, such as optical tables, breadboards, and post assemblies. All our mating sleeves properly align the cores of each connectorized fiber end and minimize back reflections by bringing them into optical contact, with the exception of our SMA mating sleeves, which are air-spaced. Thorlabs' L-Bracket Mating Sleeves connect fibers terminated with industry-standard FC/PC, FC/APC, SMA, and ST connectors. PM Fiber, FC/PC to FC/PC or FC/APC to FC/APC,
