is the most commonly used connector type for MXT Optical power meters.
It features:

understanding.
b) 2.5mm Universal connector adapter. After unscrewing any of the
interchangeable connector adapters, the user will see a fixed 2.5mm

accept most of the 2.5mm diameter ferrule connectors, such as FC,SC, ST,DIN, E2000 and SMA. It means that with one plug a variety of connectors can be connected as long as the ferrule diameter is 2.5mm. These connectors however use only a push/pull mechanism and cannot to be fixed or screwed. Please refer to the right picture for a better understanding.
