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.

• 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)
  • IEC 61300 3.35 ED.2 SM APC
  • IEC 61300-3-35 ED.2 MM
  • IEC 61300-3-35 ED.2 SM RL>=45dB
  • IEC 61300-3.35 ED.2 SM RL>=26 dB

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.
