Connecting Probe Tips and Adapters for MPO Inspection
FI-3000 ships with probe tips for 12/24 UPC and 12/24 APC endfaces. Additional tips for 16/32 MPO endfaces are available and sold separately.
To view the MPO fiber endface properly and inspect it, you must choose the correct
-
Probe Tip
- Blue Band for UPC
- Green Band for APC
- Connector (if needed) with proper key alignment and number of endfaces (see picture below)
-
Inspection Limit Type (limit type must match fiber media type)
- Select the appropriate limit for your testing requirements.
- MPO End Type (see FI-IN app for one and two row MPO configuration selections).
- If connecting to your Versiv or Versiv2 mainframe, double check the Module type is Fiber Inspector in your test setup.
Note:
In the FI-IN app you can tap Key Position in Live View to set the key position on FI-1000 to Key Left or Key Right. This will help with numbering the inspected endfaces properly when they are graded in the FI-IN app.
