FAQ
How do I know if my fiber optic connector needs cleaning?
A visual inspection with a fiber optic microscope will reveal dust, oil, or other contaminants. If contamination is present, clean the connector before use to prevent signal loss or damage.
What’s the difference between optical and video fiber inspection microscopes?
An optical microscope provides a direct view of the fiber endface through an eyepiece, while a video microscope displays the image on an LCD screen or external monitor. Video microscopes are ideal for detailed inspections and documentation.
Do these microscopes work with all fiber optic connectors?
Yes, these microscopes include adapters for the most common connector types (LC, SC, ST, FC). If you need to inspect other types of connectors, check compatibility before purchase.
Are these microscopes safe to use with live fiber?
No, never inspect live fiber. The built-in IR filter provides some protection, but exposure to active fiber optic signals can be hazardous. Always ensure the fiber is not transmitting before inspection.
