General
Adapter type	1.25 mm

The 1.25 mm adapter for the FX700 attenuation meter from Softing IT Networks is a specific accessory designed for connecting the measuring device to optical components with a 1.25 mm plug diameter. It serves as a mechanical interface at the RX port (receiver connection) of the FX700 device, enabling secure and precise measurement of optical attenuation in fiber optic lines. The adapter is designed to be screwed on, allowing stable and residue-free mounting, and minimizing the risk of contact loss or incorrect connections.

FiberXpert 700 is the product family to which the attenuation meter belongs, and the adapter is specifically developed for this generation of devices. It enables adaptation to various optical connectors that feature the standard 1.25 mm diameter, commonly used in many industrial and telecommunication fiber optic connections. Using a suitable adapter is essential to ensure correct and reproducible measurement of optical attenuation, as an inaccurate mechanical connection can lead to measurement errors.

Adapter is the technical term for the accessory that establishes the physical connection between the measuring device and the optical medium being tested. The screw-on design ensures a secure and repeatable installation, which is particularly advantageous for repeated measurements or field use. The construction is designed to precisely align the optical axis of the measuring device with that of the connected fiber cable, ensuring maximum signal transmission.

Attenuation meter is the core of the application: it is used for the quantitative determination of signal attenuation (attenuation) in fiber optic lines, which is essential for quality assurance, maintenance, and commissioning of fiber communication networks. The adapter supports this function by enabling a reliable mechanical and optical coupling. The use of a specific adapter like this is particularly required when testing fiber connections in the field of telecommunications, industrial networks, or during maintenance of fiber infrastructures.

RX Port refers to the receiver connection of the measuring device, where the adapter is mounted. This port is designed to receive optical signals from the fiber line being tested. Correct installation of the adapter at the RX port is crucial to ensure error-free signal transmission and thus accurate attenuation measurement. The screw-on feature ensures the adapter is securely fastened to the port, preventing any mechanical movement during measurement.

1.25 mm is the standard diameter for many optical connectors, particularly for SC and LC connectors, which are widely used in fiber optic communication. The adapter is specifically designed for this diameter to ensure a precise fit. The exact fit is critical to achieve optimal optical coupling and avoid reflections or signal losses due to poor contact.

The use of the adapter is exclusively in conjunction with the FX700 measuring device. It is not a universal accessory, but specifically developed for the interface at the RX port of this device. Installation is done by screwing on, requiring no additional tools or aids. The description “screw-on adapter for RX port” refers exclusively to the mechanical function and installation method.

The technical design of the adapter is conceived to precisely align the optical axis of the measuring device with that of the connected fiber cable. This is crucial to ensure maximum signal transmission and thus precise measurement of optical attenuation. The use of a suitable adapter is particularly required when testing fiber connections in the field of telecommunications, industrial networks, or during maintenance of fiber infrastructures. The screw-on technology ensures a secure and repeatable installation, which is particularly advantageous for repeated measurements or field use.

The adapter is not an independent measuring device, but a mechanical accessory that establishes the physical connection between the FX700 measuring device and the optical medium being tested. It serves exclusively for mechanical and optical coupling and has no electronic or measuring functions of its own. The attenuation measurement is performed by the FX700 device itself, with the adapter providing the prerequisite for correct signal transmission between the device and the fiber line.

Compatibility is limited to the FX700 attenuation meter. It is not designed for other devices or other port types. Use with other devices or connections is not intended and may lead to malfunctions or damage.

Installation is done by screwing onto the RX port of the FX700 device. No additional tools or aids are required. The mechanical connection is designed to allow stable and residue-free installation. The precise fit of the adapter ensures it fits exactly into the port and guarantees optimal optical alignment.
