Frequently Asked Questions
What connector types are compatible with this adapter?
The FOA-U25 is primarily for 2.5mm ferrule connectors including ST, SC, and FC, and is also compatible with E-2000, LC, LC Duplex, MTP, MT-RJ, and MU.
Is this adapter compatible with non-EXFO equipment?
No, this adapter is designed specifically for use with EXFO detectors.
Does this cap affect signal loss?
The adapter is designed for high-precision alignment to ensure minimal insertion loss during testing procedures.
Can I use this for both single-mode and multi-mode testing?
Yes, the adapter interface is physical-layer agnostic and supports both fiber types provided the test instrument itself supports the required wavelengths.
How should I store the adapter when not in use?
Keep the adapter in a clean, dust-free environment and use provided caps to protect the internal components from contamination.
