EXFO FOA Compatibility - Manual (Page 2)

P/N: 1057456 November 2009 2/3
The longer threads on the faceplate required the change of four FOA
models, the old FOA-302 (MT Ferrule), FOA-303 (Mini-MT Ferrule), FOA-392
(MTP ferrule) and FOA-393 (MT-RJ ferrule), as they are not compatible with
the new faceplate design. The new FOA design for the new faceplate can
be recognized by the letter "B" added to the model numbers stated above.
Below you can see some examples of the new identification stickers on
the front of the FOAs.
The table below indicates the compatibility for the faceplates and the FOA
models.
Below you can see the new faceplate with the new FOA. The threads in the
FOA and on the faceplate are fully compatible and the connection is done
properly both sideways and from the front.
