Performing Fiber Inspection
Introduction
Inspection of fiber optic connections is essential for the optimal performance and longevity of fiber
optic connectivity. Throughout their lives, fiber connectors must be inspected, analyzed, and cleaned
to maintain an acceptable level of functionality. The JD780A series makes it fast and easy to
troubleshoot and certify that every connection at a cell site is optimized for a lifetime of performance.
The JD780A series supports the handheld fiber microscope P5000i that can capture video images
from the sensor and analyzes the images for fiber end face defects and contamination with reliable
PASS/FAIL results to guarantee the performance of your optical connections.
