General
Fibre diameter	62.5/125 µm

The ADP-SCm-STf-M from Moxa is a multimode fibre optic adapter that enables a connection between an SC plug (male) and an ST socket (female) in duplex configuration. It is used for interface mediation in structured cabling systems, particularly in patch panels, distribution fields, or test environments, where different connector types need to be connected. The design ensures precise optical coupling for multimode transmissions in the 62.5/125 µm range.

Applications
This adapter is designed for use in structured cabling systems, especially in patch fields, test environments, and for integrating various fibre optic connectors. It allows the connection of SC plugs, commonly used in modern networks, with ST sockets, which are found in older or specific installations. The grey housing colour supports visual identification within complex cabling systems.

Functions and Features in Detail
The ADP-SCm-STf-M features a ceramic sleeve made of zirconia, ensuring high mechanical stability and low insertion loss. This material choice guarantees reliable optical transmission with minimal signal loss. The duplex design enables simultaneous connection of two fibres in a single housing, making installation and maintenance more efficient in networks with high cabling complexity.

Technology Explained Simply
The insertion loss is typically 0.1 dB and maximum 0.3 dB, ensuring high signal quality in multimode networks. The use of zirconia ceramic as ferrule and sleeve material ensures precise alignment of the fibre ends and minimizes reflections and mechanical wear. The construction is designed for use in environments requiring stable and low-maintenance connections.

Compatibility and Accessories
The adapter is specifically designed for multimode fibre optic connections in the 62.5/125 µm format. It is compatible with SC plugs and ST sockets commonly installed in many industrial and IT networks. The duplex configuration allows use in systems requiring two fibres in parallel, such as bidirectional data transmissions.

Mounting and Installation
Installation is done by simply inserting the corresponding fibre optic connectors into the respective ports. The duplex design allows simultaneous connection of both fibres, speeding up installation in patch fields or distribution boxes. The grey housing colour aids orientation in dense cabling systems.

Operational Advantages
Thanks to low insertion loss and robust ceramic construction, the ADP-SCm-STf-M provides a reliable and low-maintenance connection. The duplex design reduces the number of required adapters and simplifies cabling. The clear visual identification via the grey housing colour supports quick identification and maintenance in complex networks.
