The N774xA power meters do not make contact to the fiber connector
faces and can be used with either angled or straight connectors. The
N7744A and N7745A use the quad-adapters described below. The
N7747A and N7748A use the interchangeable 81000xI connector
interfaces, selected for the desire connector type. Common choices are
the 81000FI for FC connectors, 81000KI for SC connectors, and 81002LI
for LC connectors. The 81000BI can be used for bare fiber connections.
When using bare fiber connections to power meters, the length of fiber extending
from the fiber holder must be carefully adjusted to avoid scratching the power meter
optics.
Connector ferrules with conical or raised-end faces also add positioning uncertainty
and are not recommended for use with the N7747A or N7748A.
For further details on connector interfaces and accessories, refer to the
"Accessories" section in the User's Guide.
