FBP3 LONG REACH PROBE AND TIPS
As system capacities have increased, optical connectors have proliferated in backplane applications. Increasingly,
those connectors are ribbon ferrule based. The FBP3 series is purpose-built for reaching between adjacent cards/
modules to reach optical connectors in the backplane.
The FBP3-P3L is a long-reach backplane probe that is designed to inspect connectors that are otherwise dicult
to access. Its unique and complimentary design allows the probe to t down a channel less than 1-inch wide,
making the inspecti0n of backplanes convenient and functional. The Universal Adapter is compatible with all
standard FBPT-series inspection tips. This allows the probe to inspect a broad range of connector types located
in... The 4-pin connector output interfaces with the HD1 handheld video display.
The design of the FBP3-BLX probe incorporates an imaging system, integrated light source, video camera and
focus mechanism. The handle and barrel components of the probe are easily assembled and is powered by the
HD1 display.
