Push-On Optical Connector
This section applies to instruments with push-on pull-off interchangeable
optical adaptors.
To access the optical connector, grasp the grey cover on the top of the
instrument and tilt the cover back. Slide the cover back and down to form
a convenient tilt bail for the instrument.
The user can easily fit different styles of connector adaptors, replace
worn or broken adaptors, or temporarily remove an adaptor to clean the
adaptor and fiber tip.
A fitted connector adaptor may be easier to remove with a patch lead
attached, since then it is easier to grasp. (typically, FC!)
To remove the fitted connector, simply pull of the connector while gently
depressing the adjacent connector release button. Excessive force is not
required.
To install a connector adaptor, position it in such a way that you are
facing a locating slot on the side of the adaptor (SC end). This will allow
you to align the locating slot with that on the instrument SC connector,
and then press it in.
The supplied standard connector adaptor has a ceramic sleeve to avoid
connector metal dust contamination of the target system.
When not in use, keep test ports and connectors covered. Never touch
connector tips with your fingers since body oils and dirt can impair
performance.
Refer to ordering information section in this manual to see our wide
range of available adaptor styles.
CAUTION!
Do not use damaged or incompatible connector adaptors.
CAUTION!
FC style through connectors can fail easily. The problem is
that the connector can be assembled with the anti-rotation spigot miss-
aligned, and the screwed housing can still be tightened. This is a
connector design fault; users need to be aware of the problem. Usually,
the result is that ceramic sleeve inside the instrument adaptor gets
broken.
Power Meter
This port can be used with both PC and APC connector styles.
Bare fiber adaptors must achieve fiber XY axis eccentricity of ± 100
microns, and Z axis tolerance of ± 300 microns relative to the ferrule
end. Preferred bare fiber adaptors consist of a connector with fiber
retention device or other end stop.
For regular work with bare fibers, to avoid instrument damage, it is
preferable to use an alternative arrangement such as a multimode pigtail
along with a v-groove or mechanical splice.
