Fiber Inspection Probe 1
1 Introducing the FIP-400B Fiber
Inspection Probe and
ConnectorMax2 Mobile
The FIP-400B Fiber Inspection Probe is a portable video microscope used
to inspect fiber ends. Unlike traditional microscopes, the FIP-400B
facilitates the examination of patchcord connectors and also hard-to-reach
connectors on the back of patch panels and bulkhead adapters.
There are two different types of probes:
USB-wired probes, that are connected to platforms
wireless probes, that can be connected with a Wi-Fi or USB connection
to platforms or with a Wi-Fi connection to a mobile smart device
(Android or iOS)
standard wireless probes can inspect single fibers and transceivers
MF-Ready probes can inspect single fibers, transceivers and
multifiber connectors. This type of probe allows you to use a
Multifiber Source (MFS) which produces a light pattern that, once
injected into a fiber, is detectable by the EXFO’s Fiber Inspection
Probe equipped with an MPO tip (12 or 24 fibers). With the MFS,
the probe will test the continuity and polarity of the link under test.
See Working with a Multifiber Source on page 101 for details.
Note: The appearance and the orientation (portrait or landscape) of the
application may vary depending on the smart device used.
