The FMA-LC is an LC simplex adapter engineered for fiber optic patch cord inspection. This male-threaded connector interfaces directly with VIAVI inspection microscopes to enable precise end-face assessment of LC simplex connectors. The adapter connects immediately to the FVDi Bench-top Microscope and integrates with VIAVI probe microscopes via the FBPT-UFMA and FBPP-BAP1 adapter pairing. For microscope systems requiring female-threaded connection, the FMAE-CA2 coupling adapter extends compatibility. As a member of the FMA Series, the FMA-LC supports critical inspection workflows in fiber optic network deployment and maintenance.

– Compatibility & Integration
The FMA-LC connects directly to the FVDi Bench-top Microscope without additional adapters. Integration with VIAVI probe microscopes requires the FBPT-UFMA universal microscope adapter paired with the FBPP-BAP1 adapter block. Microscopes with female-threaded receptacles use the FMAE-CA2 coupling adapter for connection. The FMA Series supports multiple connector geometries; the newer FMAX Series offers female-threaded alternatives for new system deployments.
