The JDSU FBP-PX200 is a handheld video inspection probe microscope engineered for high-resolution examination of fiber optic connector end-faces. It delivers 200X magnification with a 1/3-inch CMOS sensor and blue coaxial LED illumination to reveal fiber condition details with precision. The probe outputs PAL analog video through a 6-pin Hirose connector and integrates a QuickCapture button for single-handed image acquisition. This configuration ships without USB or barrel connector, making it ideal for integration with dedicated JDSU optical test displays or third-party analog-to-digital conversion systems.
