ℹ️ What is an EA Connector?

EA (EXFO Adapter) is EXFO’s modular connector interface that allows you to easily change between SC, FC, and ST connectors without replacing the whole test device.

• ✅ Flexible: Swap between SC, FC, or ST tips (UPC or APC)

• 🔄 Field-Replaceable: Adapter tips can be changed on-site, no tools needed

• 💡 Cost-Efficient: One tester supports multiple connector types

Your purchase includes one EA adapter tip (SC, FC, or ST — as specified). Additional adapter tips can be purchased separately if needed.
