Overview
The EXFO FIP-200-KIT-1 is a specialized fiber inspection kit designed to simplify the verification of fiber end-face cleanliness. This kit centers on the FIP-200-A Connector Checker, which is optimized for field service technicians, particularly those working in Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) and service activation environments. The device utilizes a dual-core CPU for rapid automated pass/fail assessments, providing results in just 7 seconds.
Equipped with a long-reach optical head, this kit ensures clear access to connectors in high-density panels and crowded cabinets. The unit features a user-friendly quick-connect design, allowing for seamless transitions between different inspection tips with a simple quarter-turn. The tool is purpose-built for APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors and integrates directly with the EXFO Exchange platform for efficient data management.
