Fiber Inspection Probe 1
1 Introducing the FIP-400 Fiber
Inspection Probe and
ConnectorMax
The FIP-400 Fiber Inspection Probe is a portable video microscope used to
inspect fiber ends. Unlike traditional microscopes, the FIP-400 facilitates
the examination of patchcord connectors and also hard-to-reach
connectors on the back of patch panels and bulkhead adapters.
Probe
The FIP-400 is designed to be an intuitive, easy-to-use piece of equipment.
This video microscope is used for inspecting fiber ends.
The focus knob can be turned in either direction to focus the image.
The magnification button allows you to shift between two levels of
magnification.
The freeze/capture button is used together with the EXFO USB adapter
and your unit or computer. It allows you to capture an image, perform
an analysis, save a file or return to the Live video mode.
The retaining nut holds tips securely in place, ensuring they are always
fastened in the correct position.
The fold out clip at the back of the probe allows you to hang the probe
when you are not using it.
The probe comes equipped with a protective cap that fits over basic tips;
therefore, you do not need to remove the tip before putting the cap on.

Probe Tips
Probe Tips
The FIP-400 comes with two interchangeable tips but other models are
also available.
The tips included with the Fiber Inspection Probe are used to inspect flat
polish (PC) 2.5 mm connectors. One tip is for inspecting patchcords
(pigtails, male connectors) for SC, FC, and ST connectors. The other tip is
for examining SC and FC bulkhead adapters or patch panel adapters
(female).
Other tip models are available for various bulkhead adapters and
patchcord connectors including multifiber types. For more information
about tips and their use, see Fiber Inspection Probe Tip Compatibility Chart
on page 65, or visit the EXFO Web site.
