EXFO Launches Fastest Fiber Inspection Scope for Optical Connectors
EXFO has unveiled a new fiber inspection scope that the company says will improve multi-fiber connector testing in data centers and other telecommunication networks. The FIP-500 MPO features the fastest MPO inspection process on the market, zero-button operation and automation, and simple tip replacement when switching between connector types or from single to multi-fiber. The device also supports both single and multi-fiber connector testing. “Our goal in designing the FIP-500 was to solve pain points in increasingly high-speed networks. Connectors are the weakest point, especially in dense and high-speed traffic scenarios, where a dirty connector can lead to serious network problems,” said Stephane Chabot, EXFO vice president of test and measurement.
