17BOEING 787: FIBER INSPECTION AND CLEANING
FBP PROBE MICROSCOPE
JDSU FBP-series probes are portable video microscopes used to inspect ber optic connectivity. While most ber
microscopes are limited to inspecting male connectors, JDSU's FBP probe is designed to inspect both simplex and
multi-ber (ribbon) types of both male and female connectors, as well as optical devices such as transceivers. The
probe is specially designed to t and operate comfortably and easily in-hand, allowing the user to inspect hard-
to-reach connectors that are installed on the backside of patch panels or inside hardware devices. This eliminates
the need to disassemble hardware devices prior to inspection.
