EXFO Swap-Out Connector Technology The MAX-715D-SM1 features EXFO's exclusive Swap-Out connector — field-replaceable without returning the unit to a service center. An onboard connector health checker diagnoses port condition so you replace only when necessary, keeping your calibration plan on track and minimizing network downtime. Connector Options — Select at Checkout APC/SC — Angled Physical Contact, SC interface (recommended for PON/FTTx) APC/FC — Angled Physical Contact, FC interface UPC/SC — Ultra Physical Contact, SC interface UPC/FC — Ultra Physical Contact, FC interface Frequently Asked Questions Q: What connector types are compatible with the MAX-715D-SM1?A: The MAX-715D-SM1 uses EXFO's Swap-Out connector system. Available options: APC/SC, APC/FC, UPC/SC, and UPC/FC — select your preferred type at checkout. Q: Can I replace the connector in the field without sending the unit in for calibration?A: Yes. The Swap-Out design allows field replacement without returning the unit to a service center, and your calibration date remains valid after swapping. Q: Is the MAX-715D-SM1 suitable for PON / FTTx testing?A: Absolutely. It is purpose-built for FTTx last-mile and short access-network testing. The iOLM module provides one-touch pass/fail results on complex PON fiber links. Q: What is the difference between APC and UPC connectors?A: APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors have an 8° angled end-face that minimizes back-reflection — ideal for high-speed PON and long-haul networks. UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) connectors have a flat end-face with low return loss, suitable for most standard fiber networks. Q: Does the MAX-715D-SM1 include reporting software?A: Onboard PDF reporting and post-processing are available as an optional add-on. The iOLM module is included with the Oi (OTDR + iOLM) variant. Q: Do you ship internationally?A: Yes — we ship to every country worldwide. Orders are typically dispatched within 5 business days after payment. Delivery times vary by destination. Import duties and customs fees are the buyer's responsibility.
