– Fiber Microscope
– Inspect both the bulkhead (female) and patch cord
(male) sides of fiber interconnect as well as optical
devices located in hard-to-reach places (transceivers).
– Inspect both simplex connectors.
– Use with a comprehensive selection of precision FBPT
tips.
– Optical Power Meter
– Takes power measurements for all single-mode and
multi-mode connectors via USB 2.0 connection.
– Measures optical power with multiple pre-calibrated
wavelengths (850, 980, 1300, 1310, 1490, 1550 and
1625 nm).
– Integrates digital power measurements, fiber inspec-
tion, and analysis into a single, unified work sequence.
Inspecting fiber
The JDSU fiber microscope accessory is used to view a live
video of a simplex fiber to determine if the fiber is clean. It can
also capture a snapshot and provide pass/fail analysis.
To inspect fiber
1 Connect the fiber microscope to a USB connector on the
right side of the instrument.
A MicroScope icon appears in the title bar.
2 Select the MicroScope icon.
The Fiber Microscope screen appears.
