Fiber Inspection Probe Kit LC/UPC
DESCRIPTION
The FIP100 from Tempo is a fully automated inspection tool that provides fast and reliable analysis of fiber optic connector end faces and bulkheads
With a single button press, the FIP100 automatically focuses, captures an image of the connector endface, and provides a pass/fail result.
The pass/fail status of the connector is instantly reported via a red/green LED on the probe. Detailed results are shown on the iOS or Android app, which provides PDF report generation and sharing.
Both apps are pre-loaded with pass/fail requirements from IEC 61300-3-35, as required by all major telecommunications service providers.
