There are at least a dozen of different fiber optic inspection microscope on the market. So how do you choose one that is best for your application and budget? Here are some clues. Consider your fiber inspection scope application environment Production environment Fiber optic cable installer contractors Network manager Consider your fiber optic cable and connector type Single mode. Choose a fiber inspection scope with at least 200X magnification. Or even 400X if you are in a production environment. Multimode, 100X maybe OK for field fiber optic cable termination. But best choice will still be a hand held 200X level scope. Fiber Optics For

The major difference is oven’s maximum temperature capability. Standard epoxy connector oven has a maximum temperature of 150 degrees C, and there are different blocks available which will fit each connector style. The oven block feature built in stops to allow the connector to sit in the center of the oven without passing through to the bottom and breaking fiber stubs. Standard epoxy oven cannot do the Hot Melt connectors. 3M Hot Melt connectors require a temperature of 260 degrees C. Fiber Optics For Sale offers hot melt ovens in 6, 12, and 14 port versions.

If the received light level is too high for the detector in an active node, the result of overdriving the detector can cause noise in the signal, or worse case even damage to the unit. The answer is an attenuator. Attenuators are available in either fixed or variable levels of attenuation, and as pigtailed devices, bulkhead adapters, or male-to-female hybrids. Simply measure the power of the signal being received, and subtract the maximum input power of the active equipment from the measured power of the signal to determine the amount of attenuation needed.
