Fibre-optic connector inspector with Wi-Fi

21 March 2018 Test & Measurement

The FOCIS Wi-Fi2 is AFL’s new fibre-optic connector inspection system that uses an Android or iOS wireless connection for live image video streaming, auto-focus and more.

The probe is ergonomic and lightweight, fitting comfortably and balancing naturally in the hand.

The probe hardware has a single multipurpose button, a single multi-colour functional status LED, and a battery charging port for all-day mobility. The status LED enhances workflow productivity by allowing rapid operator assessment of the cleanliness of the fibre endface – either passing or failing standard rules – as well as a ‘fibre not found’ error notification.

The FOCIS WiFi2 uses AFL’s large portfolio of inspection adaptor tips for both connectors and bulkhead sleeves, including all 2,5 mm (SC, FC, ST) and 1,25 mm (LC) ferrules, as well as multi-fibre connectors and bulkhead sleeves (MPO/MTP/MPO16). AFL offers an adaptor tip for high-density LC PC/UPC optical distribution frames as well.

A free app for Android and iOS supports live image video streaming, auto-focus, IEC / IPC standard and user-customised pass/fail auto-analysis, pinch-to-zoom on endface images, report generation, multi-language GUI support and day/time stamped job saving.
