Fiber End-Face Inspector: What is It?

Dirty and damaged fiber optic connectors are one of the common issues in fiber optic networks, causing high connector loss, high reflectance, and contaminating transceivers. However, a fiber end-face inspector allows the user to check the fiber optic connector for contaminants before testing and installation. This article provides some knowledge about fiber end-face inspectors.
What is a Fiber End-face Inspector?
A fiber end-face inspector is integrated equipment that combines an optical microscope and a monitor in one body. It can accurately inspect the fiber optic connector's end faces by adjusting the X and Y axis. In addition, a fiber end-face inspector has a clear image, a long lifetime, and 1.25/ 2.5mm UPC universal male adaptors for different connectors.
Features and Benefits
A fiber end-face inspector provides the following features and benefits:
1. Integrated design
2. Magnification options of 200X, 400X
3. Easy operation and clear imaging
4. Image input & output
5. Full-scale inspection by adjusting the X and Y axis

Integrated Design
A fiber end-face inspector has a compact size due to the integrated design and saves working space. It can get rid of the annoying cables between the monitor and the microscope.

High Definition Images
With a coaxial illumination optic magnifying system, a fiber end-face inspector can easily find slight defects and scratches on the fiber end-face. A high-resolution image sensor and 8"pure black and white digital TFT LCD can show the real details of the fiber end-face.
Image Input & Output
A fiber end-face inspector provides image input and output functions to fulfill the various demands of customers. It can be connected to a handheld fiber end-face inspector to test different female types of connectors.

Various Interface Designs A fiber end-face inspector has an extensive range of adaptors and can check all types of fiber connectors ( MPO/MTP, MT-RJ connector ), optic transceiver modules ( 40/100G MPO module, SFP, XFP, QSFP ), TOSA/ROSA components, etc.
Types of Fiber End-face Inspector
A fiber end-face inspector has two types: X and Y axis adjustable (4mmx4mm sight distance, for multi-fiber connectors and module inspection) and non-adjustable; for different adaptors: ferrules, modules (TOSA, ROSA, BOSA for single fiber inspection) and transceiver modules (SFP, QSFP, SEF, XFP).
Applications
A fiber end-face inspector is used in fiber optic connector end-face inspection.

Conclusion
A fiber end-face inspector provides a compact design, easy to operate, and saves working space. Equipped with a high-resolution sensor and monitor, a fiber end-face inspector can detect the slightest defects and scratches on the end-face. It improves testing speed and protects the operator's eyesight in long-term usage.
