Using FMAG adapters
Adapter features
An FMAG adapter adheres to the magnetic adapter plate at the front of the FVAm microscope by magnetic force
only.
A part number is etched on each FMAG adapter at the top of the side ring. Aqua and green markings at the front
of the adapter identify the correct orientation for mounting it, as well as the correct adapter position for
connector inspection. For information, see
“Mounting and positioning an adapter” on page 2-7
.

Important:
An FMAG adapter must always be mounted onto the FVAm microscope with the part number and
aqua marking at the top.
Most adapters also feature an alignment key to help you align a fiber connector or transceiver when connecting it
to the adapter.
