Wirewerks fiber optic hybrid adapters allow users to interconnect fiber optic cable assemblies featuring different interfaces types and/or genders. Their precise alignment mechanisms provide flawless contact between connectors end face. Mating sleeves and ferrules are manufactured with phosphorus bronze or zirconia ceramic, depending on network requirements, to uphold the level of desired performance. Zirconia ceramic sleeves are recommended for multimode OM3 and OM4 performance, and single mode OS1 or OS2. In the case of hybrid adapters with a male gender, the ferrule is made with zirconia ceramic by default.
