FBP-HD2 & HD3 Display Options
Optional modules in the HD2 & HD3 lines are designed to deliver more utility at highly competitive prices including
an integrated patch cord viewer and/or a Visual Fault Locator.
The integrated "patch cord viewer" module allows the user to inspect the fiber patch cord (i.e., male connector)
directly on the display while still providing a means for bulkhead (i.e., female connector) inspection with an attached
probe microscope. The user can simply toggle between viewing the patch cord and bulkhead, which allows
inspection of both ends of a connection without having to change tips on the probe. This saves considerable time
and cuts down on lost tips and adapters. The patch cord scope accepts our FMAE Series adapters, but is configurable
to accept FMA Series adapters with the use of a coupler.
The integrated visual fault locator (VFL), only available in the FBP-HD2 line, allows user to troubleshoot newly spliced
or terminated assemblies for breaks or excessive bends in a fiber cable. Purchasing an HD2 with an integrated VFL
can save you up to 50% of the price of a stand-alone VFL.

FBP3 Probe Tips with Ribbon Drive
FBP3 Long Reach Series
As system capacities have increased, optical connectors have proliferated in backplane applications. Increasingly,
those connectors are ribbon ferrule based. The FBP3 Series is purpose-built for reaching between adjacent
cards/modules to reach optical connectors in the backplane. Westover's patented RibbonDrive™ technology is
available for many multi-fiber connector configurations and provides the industry's only practical solution for
backplane ribbon inspection. Our standard FBPT Series tips can also be used with the FBP3 probe for simplex
backplane applications.
