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.

400G ZR Coherent Pluggable Optics: Enable 400G for Next-Generation Data Center Interconnect (DCI) and Metro Network Solutions

图片
400G ZR coherent pluggable optics plays a vital role in enabling the next-generation data center to interconnect (DCI) and metro network solutions to meet the bandwidth requirements of today and tomorrow. It reduces the cost and complexity of high-bandwidth data center interconnects and promotes interoperability among optical module manufacturers and providers. This article provides some knowledge about 400G ZR. What is 400G ZR? 400G ZR or 400ZR is an interoperable standard that enables the transmission of multiple 400GE payloads over Data Center Interconnect (DCI) links up to 80/120km using dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) and higher-order modulation(16 QAM). It aims to secure an affordable and long-term implementation based on single-carrier 400G using dual-polarization 16 QAM (16-state quadrature amplitude modulation) at approximately 60 gigabaud (Gbaud). How Does 400G ZR Work? 400G ZR is an interoperable networking Implementation Agreement (IA) released by the Op
