Using the FiberInspector Option

The OFTM-5352 FiberInspector

Video Probe connects to

an OptiFiber fiber tester to let you inspect the ends of
fiber optic connectors. The probe's 250X and 400X
magnifications reveal dirt, scratches, and other defects
that can cause poor performance or failures in fiber optic
networks.

The 250X magnification shows dirt and other defects on
the fiber endface and surrounding ferrule. The 400X
magnification allows a more detailed inspection of the
cladding and core.

Figure 17 shows the equipment needed for using the
FiberInspector probe.
