The JDSU FBP-P6 is a handheld video inspection probe microscope purpose-built for detailed fiber optic connector analysis. Dual magnification (200X and 400X) enables flexible inspection of connector end-faces across varying defect scales. PAL video output integrates with JDSU HD-series displays, Video Output Modules (FBP-VO1, FBP-VO2), or USB converters for PC-based workflows. Coaxial blue LED illumination with 100,000+ hour lifespan delivers consistent, shadow-free imaging critical for identifying contamination, scratches, and surface defects.
