VIAVI FBPT-U12MA-SF Universal Patchcord Tip, 1.25mm LC/APC

Overview

The VIAVI FBPT-U12MA-SF is a precision-engineered universal patchcord inspection tip designed for use with VIAVI fiber inspection probes. This 1.25 mm APC tip provides a secure, reliable interface for inspecting small form factor connectors, specifically facilitating the critical visual analysis of fiber end-faces for LC/APC and MU/APC patch cords.

Engineered for high-frequency testing environments, this tip utilizes a slip-fit connection mechanism to ensure rapid and consistent coupling to the probe. Its design ensures accurate positioning and stability during the inspection process, helping technicians verify connector cleanliness and integrity in field or data center environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this tip compatible with non-APC connectors?
No, this tip is specifically designed for APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors. Using it with flat-polished connectors may yield inaccurate inspection results.

What probe models support this tip?
This tip is designed for use with the VIAVI FBP series fiber inspection probes.

How do I clean the inspection tip?
Follow the cleaning instructions provided in your VIAVI inspection probe manual, typically involving lint-free wipes and specialized fiber optic cleaning solution.

Does this tip require any special tools for installation?
No, the slip-fit design allows for manual attachment and removal from the inspection probe without the need for additional tools.

Can this be used for bulkhead inspection?
This specific tip is a patchcord tip; inspection of bulkheads usually requires different specific bulkhead-style probe tips.
