FBPt-SC
(Bulkhead)
Standard Tips
(Bulkhead and Patch Cord)
Standard bulkhead tips allow the user to inspect the fiber end face on the
female
side of
the bulkhead
(e.g., inside hardware devices or on the back side of patch panels).
FBPt-U25M
(Patch Cord)
Standard patch cord tips allow inspection of
male
ends of a fiber connection
(e.g., patch
cords, pigtails).
Universal tips include the
FBPt-U25M
, compatible with 2.5 mm ferrules
(e.g., FC, SC, ST)
and the
FBPt-U12M
, used to inspect 1.25 mm ferrules
(e.g., LC, MU).
FBPt-lC-l
Long Reach Tips
Long reach tips have a 1/2-in longer reach than standard tips, and allow the user to
inspect the fiber end faces in tight, hard-to-reach spaces.
FBPt-SC-APC
APC Tips
APC tips are designed with an angle that complements the end face of an APC polish
fiber connector. This allows the entire fiber image to stay in focus during inspection.
FBPt-SC-A6
Angled Tips
Angled tips, identified by “A6,” are angled 60 degrees to allow easy maneuvering and
inspection of hard-to-reach locations such as transceivers on a printed circuit board (PCB)
or bulkheads located in tight spaces.
FBPt-MtPA
RibbonDrive
TM
Tips
JDSU's patented RibbonDrive tips are specialty tips that allow inspection of high-density,
multifiber array connectors that are mounted within a bulkhead adapter. Each tip mates
securely with connectors using a precision-keyed mating adapter interface. The patented
panning knob
allows the user to view each fiber individually in the linear array.
FBPt-A801-2-001-R
Alignment guides
Alignment guides enable the inspection of various military and aerospace connectors
that use a plug and receptacle design. In addition to providing an alignment channel for
sockets, these alignment guides work in conjunction with a barrel assembly to prevent
the pins from breaking.
FMA Adapters
FMA Adapters provide optimized inspection for
male
connector ends and are ideal for
inspecting patch cords with multi-fiber ribbon and APC polish connectors. FMA adapters
can be utilized by a probe microscope with a universal flare adapter
(FBPT-UFMA).
