5 Inspecting Fiber Ends
You can inspect fiber ends and view the result of this inspection directly on
the built-in touchscreen of your unit.
Selecting the Connector and Interface Types
Once its initialization is complete, the unit displays the inspection screen
from which you can select the connector type (single- or multi-fiber) as
well as the interface (connector or fiber stub transceiver) for the next
capture.

Selecting the single-fiber connector type allows you to inspect single or
duplex fiber connectors or transceivers such as the LC, FC and SC.

Selecting the multi-fiber connector type allows you to inspect
multi-fiber connectors or fiber stub transceivers such as the MPO, MTP
(TM), OptiTip and Q-ODC.
By default, the 1x12 fiber layout is selected, but you can select another
fiber layout that will correspond to the connector you need to inspect.
The application displays a graphical representation for each fiber
layout available. It also displays the used and unused fibers in the
connector.
Depending on the patch panel you are inspecting, the SmarTip can be
positioned in two different ways (key up or key down). By default, the
key up orientation is selected, but you can change it according to your
work environment.
Note:
Only the fibers identified as used will be analyzed.
