Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary use of this probe tip?
This tip is specifically designed to inspect 2.5mm APC fiber optic patch cord connector end-faces.

Is this tip compatible with non-APC connectors?
No, this tip is specifically designed for APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors. Using it with UPC connectors may not provide correct results or could damage the tip.

Which systems does this tip fit?
It is designed for the Fluke Networks FI-1000 fiber inspection series.

Does this probe tip support bulkhead inspection?
This is a patch cord probe tip; it is designed for connectors on the end of a patch cord rather than bulkhead-mounted connectors.

How do I clean the tip?
Ensure you follow the manufacturer's cleaning procedures for fiber inspection equipment to maintain optical clarity.
