Optical Fiber Mating Adapters/Sleeves are used to connect two connectorized fibers together with low loss. These have a female fiber connector on each end and are available in like terminator styles as well as hybrid. All can be used for single-mode or multimode, except the SMA, which is multimode only. For bare optical fiber adapters, see Bare Fiber Adaptors.
