Fiber Inspection Probe 1
1 Introducing the FIP-400B Fiber
Inspection Probe and
ConnectorMax2
The FIP-400B Fiber Inspection Probe is a portable video microscope used
to inspect fiber ends. Unlike traditional microscopes, the FIP-400B
facilitates the examination of patchcord connectors and also hard-to-reach
connectors on the back of patch panels and bulkhead adapters.
Probe
The FIP-400B 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 control button allows you to shift between three
levels of magnification. When pressed for one second, it activates the
auto focus.
The capture control button allows you to capture an image, perform an
analysis, or return to the Live video mode.

Available Models
The retaining nut holds tips securely in place, ensuring they are always
fastened in the correct position.
The status LED gives you information about the probe or the analysis
results.
The interchangeable adapter tips give you the possibility to use various
tips depending on the type of connector you are inspecting.
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.
Available Models
The features available for your probe are automatically detected when you
connect it to your unit. The table below shows which feature is available
for each model.
Note: The auto capture is not available in multifiber mode.
Note: When the internal temperature of the FIP-430B is too low, the probe
performs a warm-up that can last up to a minute.
