SN Adapter
SN® shuttered adapters are available either as a 1-channel (2 fibers) or 4-channel variant (8 fibers). The single channel is designed for applications requiring the separation of individual optical channels such as coherent optics or wave-splitting. The 4-channel (8 fibers) version is designed for maximizing port density within patch panels. This adapter is slightly larger than the non-shuttered version due to the addition of dividing walls that support the integrated dust shutters. When the connector is inserted into the adapter, the body of the connector (not the ferrule) pushes the shutter open so the ferrules can be guided into the adapter sleeve.
