The JDSU FBP-P2 is a video inspection probe microscope engineered for high-resolution examination of fiber optic connectors and optical devices. Delivering 200X magnification with sub-micrometer resolution, this handheld probe enables technicians to inspect simplex and multi-fiber connectors in confined spaces without extensive disassembly. The ergonomic design supports in-hand operation while accessing hard-to-reach connectors in equipment racks, patch panels, and transceivers.
