The JDS Uniphase HD2 is a handheld display unit for field inspection of fiber optic connectors and cables. It combines a 3.5-inch TFT LCD with intelligent power management and optional integrated test functionalities to streamline on-site diagnostics and maintenance workflows.
## Technical Specifications
**Display & Optics**
• 3.5-inch TFT LCD
• Particle and scratch detection down to 1 µm resolution
**Power Supply**
• Eight AA batteries or AC adapter (100–240 VAC input, 12 VDC output)
• Low-battery warning LED indicator
• Approximately 8-hour runtime in Continuous-ON mode
• Extended runtime in GripSwitch™ mode
**Connectivity**
• 4-pin FBP probe input (standard)
• Patch Cord Microscope input
• Visual Fault Locator input
• AC power input
**Physical**
• Ruggedized, durable enclosure
## Key Features
**GripSwitch™ Mode** — Activates display when held, deactivates when set down, extending battery life for extended field operations.
**Continuous-ON Mode** — Optional hands-free operation for stationary inspection tasks.
**User Controls** — Focus control (PCM models), brightness adjustment, A/B switching, and Visual Fault Locator controls.
**Patch Cord Microscope (PCM)** — Available at 200X or 400X magnification for high-resolution end-face connector inspection; select models only.
**Visual Fault Locator (VFL)** — Integrated into designated models for rapid identification of fiber optic cable breaks and damage.
## Typical Applications
Field inspection of fiber optic connector end-faces, cable continuity verification, damage assessment, and installation verification across telecommunications, data center, and network infrastructure deployment.
## Compatibility & Integration
All HD-series analog display units feature a standard 4-pin FBP probe input. Migration to 6-pin probe configurations requires the FBPP-DPAC1 converter. Multiple model variants accommodate regional power standards (standard and EU plug options) and feature combinations, enabling selection of display-only units or integrated PCM and VFL configurations.
