PX-A301 Bare Fiber Adapter

The Photonix Bare Fiber Adapter (BFA) is designed to provide the test technician with a quick and easy way to connect unterminated fiber to test or communication equipment. Connection to unterminated fiber is often necessary during installation, acceptance testing of fiber, and emergency restoration. In situations where performing a full termination is not practical, the BFA will often prove to be invaluable. Note that the BFA is not a substitute for a properly terminated fiber and a 1-3dB loss can be expected. Although not as accurate as a terminated connection, this connection is suitable for OTDR acceptance testing, visible fault location, talkset  connection, approximate loss / continuity testing, and cleave inspection.

The Photonix Bare Fiber Adapter is modular by design and may be disassembled in the field for easier cleaning of fiber debris. More importantly, the Photonix BFA features an exclusive dual composition grip which exhibits up to 5 times the fiber retention strength of comparable units making it useful not only in a gentle lab environment but in the field as well. Lesser features include a laminated instruction card, an oversized thumbscrew for attaching modules, an anti-roll parts vial with clean out wire and spare parts, and a sealed waterproof carry case.
