The Bare Fiber Adapter/Tester is a device for connecting unterminated fiber to OTDRs and other test equipment, featuring a 1-meter patch cable with an SC connector and two sealed OCC cartridges for optical coupling. It supports singlemode 9/125μm and multimode 62.5/125μm or 50/125μm fiber, with typical insertion loss below 0.5 dB for cleaved fiber and back reflection below 45 dB. The adapter includes a LiteLOCK™ dial for secure connector attachment and a zirconia sleeve for alignment. The unit operates between 10°C and 30°C, and each OCC cartridge enables a minimum of 500 insertions. Protective eyewear is required during use.
The F-BFTA-S-SC Bare Fiber Test Adapter accepts cleaved and non-cleaved fiber, requires only 3/4 in. of bare fiber exposed and has a typical insertion loss of less than 0.5 dB when using cleaved fiber. No messy gel applicators or reservoirs to fill. Simply strip your fiber and insert.
Designed to quickly connect to unterminated (bare fiber) for testing, servicing, or communication requirements. System includes single-mode SC Patch Cable, Bare Fiber Test Adapter, and 2 Disposable Matching Gel Cartridges. Simply connect the patch cable to your test equipment and insert bare fiber into the end of the test module. Connections are suitable for many testing applications with results similar to a standard terminated piece of fiber.
