Before testing fiber-optic links and every time fiber optic connectors are mated, connector end-faces should be inspected and evaluated to avoid contamination that can cause degradation of network performance and destructive damage in the contact zone. The new fiber microscope provides for a quick and easy inspection of connector end-faces and an automated analysis compliant with IEC 61300-3-35.
The microscope is easily connected via USB with WireXpert or FiberXpert OTDR 5000 and the evaluation of connector end-faces can be added to the test reports.
