A universal hybrid adapter includes a first housing part, a second housing part, and a sleeve. The first housing part has a receptacle end configured to receive a plug connector including a ferrule having a first diameter. The second housing part has a receptacle end configured to receive a plug connector including a ferrule having a second diameter different from the first diameter. A first end of the sleeve is configured to receive the ferrule having the first diameter and a second end of the sleeve is configured to receive the ferrule having the second diameter. The transition from the first end to the second end of the sleeve takes place at right angles.
1. A universal hybrid adapter, comprising a first housing part and a second housing part, the first housing part defining a receptacle for a plug connector having a ferrule having a first diameter, and the second housing part defining a receptacle for a plug connector having a ferrule having a second diameter, the first and second diameters of the ferrules being different, at least the first housing part having a receptacle for a sleeve, the sleeve having a diameter, on the end face facing the first housing part, which is matched to the diameter of the ferrule having a first diameter, and having a diameter, on the end face facing the second housing part, which is matched to the diameter of the ferrule having the second diameter, wherein the sleeve is of stepped design, the transition from the first diameter to the second diameter taking place at a right angle, the sleeve having an axially continuous slot;
wherein the second housing part has an opening for the purpose of receiving FC and ST plug connectors, it being possible for an FC or ST interface to be inserted in said opening; and
wherein the interface has a radial groove, into which a sprung, forked metal sheet can be plugged on from the front side of a front panel.
2. The universal hybrid adapter as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the length of the section of the sleeve having the first diameter is smaller than the length having the second diameter.
3. The universal hybrid adapter as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the ratio of the lengths is at least 2:3.
4. The universal hybrid adapter as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sleeve is made of ceramic, bronze or plastic.
5. The universal hybrid adapter as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first housing part is formed with an integrated laser protection flap.
6. The universal hybrid adapter as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first housing part is in the form of a universal adapter for small form factor connectors.
7. The universal hybrid adapter as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the FC or ST interface is made of metal.
