PortBright™ Illumination and Compact Probe Design
Fiber panels are often densely packed with fibers small LC connectors. It can be difficult to see the port of interest
without having extra lighting. You can use a separate flashlight, but then you need to hold more items or have a
helper hold the flashlight. PortBright is a flashlight that is built into the probe and allows you find the port and then
connect the probe tip. PortBright is activated by a button on the probe itself.
The probe is only 23mm (0.95") wide and 51mm (2") thick which makes it easier to get into tight patch panels with
less disruption of nearby fibers.
Autofocus
All manual scopes and many digital probes have manual focus rings. This may require two hands and is sometimes
difficult to focus in densely packed patch panels. FI-500 can auto focus with the push of a button on the probe or on
the display unit. Autofocus takes only 3-5 seconds and works great on UPC end faces.
Autofocus works on APC (angled physical contact) also, however, if the APC tip is not aligned with connector, the
connector or probe may require rotation and repeating auto-focus or manual focus.
Wide Variety of UPC and APC Probe Tips
14 tips are available to address almost any port or connector configuration.
4 UPC tips are included (SC, LC, 1.25 mm and 2.50 mm). Each of these can be ordered separately if you lose one
and there are also ST and FC tips.
FI-500-TP-APC is a kit of four APC (angled physical contact) tips in a convenient case - SC, LC, 1.25 mm and 2.50
mm. An FC APC tip is also available.
There is also a 46 mm UPC LC bulk head extender tip.
