InspeCt INSPECT buLkhEAD Select the appropriate bulkhead inspection tip that corresponds to the connector type and install onto probe. Insert the scope into the bulkhead to inspect. Determine whether clean or dirty. If clean, do not touch it and CONNECT. If dirty, and cleaning is required, CLEAN.
Is It Clean? IS IT CLEAN Dirt is everywhere, and a typical dust particle (2–15 μm in diameter) can significantly affect signal performance and cause permanent damage to the fiber end face. Most field test failures can be attributed to dirty connectors, and most connectors are not inspected until the problem is detected, after permanent damage has already occurred.

InspeCt + test system TEST hP3-60-P4 SYSTEm The HP3-60-P4 fiber inspection and test system (with integrated patch cord microscope [PCM]) combines fiber inspection and optical power measurement into a single seamless handheld device. The result is a significant increase in workflow efficiency and decrease in total inspection and test time.
test: power MeasureMent TEST AbSOLuTE POwER absolute power level (system power measurement) is the amount of optical power present in the system, measured in dbm. The source of this power is the transmitter or transceiver sending Patch Cord information through the system. This test determines Inspection whether the signal has enough power to operate the receiver or transceiver at the end of the link.
test: reFerence MeasureMent TEST RELATIvE POwER Attenuation measurements (optical link loss) on optical components or fiber optic links (e.g., fiber connectors, cable assemblies, installed fiber optic links) are acquired by measuring the relative power level (db) at the far end of the link or device under test.

Note: DO NOT disconnect reference fiber 1 from the light source (OLS). Inspect, and if necessary, clean all ends of the system port.
