3.2. Selecting the appropriate Launch Test Cord [Go back to Getting Started section]
The light source is either PC or APC connector specific. This is determined when ordering the instrument, and can only
be changed at the factory.
The optical connector housings of the light source types are coloured coded as below,
•SM APC type light source - green connector housing
•SM PC type light source - blue connector housing
•MM PC type light source - beige connector housing
To avoid damaging the instrument’s connector tip, it is important to use a Test Cord (not supplied) with the correct
connector type that matches with that on the instrument.
The instrument is supplied with SC/SC hybrid adaptor.
Choose to order other required adaptor types from Kingfisher’s website.
