7.4 Advanced ToolsAdvanced Tools7.4.1 Fiber ScopeThe Fiber Scope Inspector is an ideal tool for checking fiber optic connectors for dirt and end face quality. The handheld probe designenables easy inspection of patch cords and difficult to reach bulkhead or patch panel connectors. Clear images are displayed on theV300 products for immediate analysis and can be saved for record keeping.Fiber ScopeKey features include:Optical connector end face inspectionEasy to change adaptor tipsMulti mode and single mode fiber patch cordsSharp images displayed on VeEX V300 productsVisual comparison mode of saved imageThe ISO/IEC 14763-3 standard for Testing Optical Fiber Cabling specifies visual standards for connector end face inspection with afiber microscope. The ISO-related standards and general industry practices recommend the following:Markings on the core or damage to the cladding close to the core are unacceptableSlight scratches and small pits on the cladding away from the core are, however, acceptableCracks are not permitted in neither core nor claddingEquipped with 400x magnification, the VeEX Fiber Scope Inspector is well suited for general installation and maintenance checks onboth single mode and multi mode fiber types. Contamination or damage that cannot be viewed at this magnification is unlikely toimpact practical connector performance; thus, it is an ideal tool for patch cord inspection, optical laboratory or field test applications.Lightweight construction and the ergonomic positioning of the rotary focus dial enables one-handed operation and fast viewing, leavingone's hand free to move the connector under test as needed. Interchangeable screw-on adaptors are available for most modernoptical connectors, while the probe design blocks any hazardous infrared light from reaching the operator, resulting in completely eye-safe operation.MTTplus e_Manual D07-00-096P RevA00Page 47 of 66
