ThE EquIPmENT
JDSU's video fiber inspection probe and CleanBlast system are used to quickly and easily inspect and clean
connector end faces. The Westover FBP dual-magnification (200/400X) video probe is a handheld microscope
designed for inspecting both female (bulkhead) and male (patch cord) connectors, as well as other optical
devices, and the CleanBlast system provides a highly effective non-contact, solvent/pressurized air method of
cleaning and removing contamination from the fiber surface quickly and efficiently.
