The Westover Scientific HD1 Fiber Inspection System is a handheld display unit engineered to evaluate cleanliness and physical integrity of fiber optic connector end faces. It detects microscopic particles down to 1 µm and fine scratches critical to network performance, working in tandem with Westover FBP-series analog probes to deliver real-time high-contrast imagery of fiber geometry. The system combines portability with optical precision for field and lab environments.

– Compatibility & Integration
The HD1 display accepts Westover FBP-series analog probes and inspects both bulkhead (female) and patch cord (male) connector sides. Supported connector types include SC, LC, FC, ST, and MPO/MTP interfaces. The 4-pin probe input accommodates standard Westover probes; 6-pin probe operation requires the FBPP-DPAC1 conversion adapter.
