Fiber inspection probes
According to statistics, more than half of all failures on a working optical network are due to problems associated with connectors (patch cords and patch panels). To visually assess the quality of polishing and the degree of contamination of the optical connector, special optical fiber microscopes, they are also called: Fiber Inspection Probes (abbreviation FIP).
For some models of microscopes, special software has been developed that can automatically analyze the image of the optical connector and draw a conclusion about the degree of contamination and compliance with the standard.
Tehencom company supplies a large number of fiber inspection probes and scopes.
Below are the most popular microscopes. Regarding prices and delivery times for the entire range of instrumentation, simply call us or write to us at E-mail and we will be happy to answer your questions.
