Inspecting fiber

140
The following USB optical accessories can be used with the
HST-3000.
– Fiber Microscope
– Inspect both the bulkhead (female) and patch cord
(male) sides of fiber interconnect as well as optical
devices located in hard-to-reach places (transceivers).
– Inspect both simplex connectors.
– Use with a comprehensive selection of precision FBPT
tips.
– Optical Power Meter
– Takes power measurements for all single-mode and
multimode connectors via USB 2.0 connection.
– Measures optical power with multiple pre-calibrated
wavelengths (850, 980, 1300, 1310, 1490, 1550 and
1625 nm).
– Integrates digital power measurements, fiber inspec-
tion, and analysis into a single, unified work sequence.
The Viavi fiber microscope accessory is used to view a live
video of a simplex fiber to determine if the fiber is clean. It can
also capture a snapshot and provide pass/fail analysis.
NOTE:
The microscope application is available on ACE2 units
only. To verify your ACE version, go to the Sys-
tem>Tools>Options/Revs/Copyright screen and then select
the REVISIONS soft key (should see HST-3000 ACE2
BIZ).
