Universal Port

The WaveTester optical power meter contains a universal connector port which allows for coupling to any fiber optic connector
that uses a 2.5mm ferrule (e.g. ST, SC, FC, etc.).

What gives this port its flexibility is that only the ferrule is inserted into the port. Since there is no latching mechanism to speak of,
any 2.5mm ferrule connector can be inserted into the same port without having to swap adapter ports. There is no longer the
need to purchase or maintain additional adapter caps for each different connector type.

This detector port is designed so that the cone of acceptance falls completely onto the detector, regardless of how the connector
may turn, twist, or wiggle in the port. Because of this, you can be assured that the connection will always produce an accurate
reading as long as it is inserted completely into the port (see the diagram below).

Additionally, some connectors use a 1.25mm ferrule. The flexible universal port system on the WaveTester allows the user to
remove the 2.5mm adapter and place a 1.25mm adapter (included with each WaveTester) for connection to LC, MU, and other
SFF connectors which use the 1.25mm ferrule.

Please call 262-473-0643 with any questions you may have about the universal port, or any other of our fiber optic test products.

Use of SC Connectors with 2.5mm Universal Port

Take extra care when inserting SC connectors into the 2.5mm universal port as the spring-loading action of the SC connector
may cause improper insertion. Call OWL at (262) 473-0643 with any questions.
