The JDSU FBP-PX2 is a handheld video inspection probe microscope for fiber optic connector end-face analysis. It delivers 200X magnification with 1/3-inch CMOS sensor technology and better than 1 μm resolution, enabling detection of contamination, scratches, and defects critical to network performance. The probe integrates coaxial blue LED illumination (>100,000 hour lifespan), adjustable focus, and a 4-pin Hirose™ male connector for direct output to JDSU display devices. PAL video output standard. A 240 cm cord provides reach to restricted access points. Manual focus control is located on the probe body for field adjustment.
