Optical Converters connect different kinds of connector types ensuring a low connection loss. Because the ferrule OD’s are the same, to connect MU Connectors with LC connectors is relatively easy. However, special techniques are required for connecting the connector in which ferrule OD’s are different.

There are two kinds of optical converters; one is a Female to Female Type also called a Converting Adapter and the other is a Male to Female Type also called a Plug-In Converter.
