Inspecting Fibers with a Probe

The fiber inspection probe (FIP) is used to find dirty or damaged
connectors by displaying an enlarged view of the connector surface. You
can connect a probe to your unit to view fiber ends.

Your unit supports both the probes of the FIP-400 and FIP-400B series.

Fiber inspections are made using the ConnectorMax (FIP-400) or the
ConnectorMax2 (FIP-400B) application, depending on the probe that you
use.

For more information on how to work with the probe, refer to the
ConnectorMax or ConnectorMax2 online help.
