Fujikura Europe Launches Hand-Held Digital FiberScope
Fujikura Europe Ltd has launched the NOYES® DFS1 Digital FiberScope, an ergonomically designed, hand-held fibre optic connector video inspection unit which entirely eliminates the danger of eye damage from active fibres.
Ideal for optical cable connector and bulkhead adapter inspection, the DFS1 delivers magnified images via USB port to Fujikura’s M200 and M700 OTDRs and C840, C850, C860 and C880 OTDRs and Certification Testers. The OTDR or Certification Tester software displays, labels and stores captured images as part of optical cable installation and / or maintenance records.
Stephen Rackstraw, Speciality Market European business development manager, said: “We wanted the DFS1 to be practical and user-friendly so it incorporates a USB port in the design, removing the need for additional batteries or AC adapters. It also features a large adjustment dial that allows for easy focusing and a “trigger button” that signals the attached device to capture the image for analysis and archiving.”
The FiberScope is available with an assortment of adapters to support inspection of a wide range of optical jumper cable connector ferrules and bulkhead adapters. Bulkhead adapter tips are available in multiple lengths for easy connector inspection of recessed bulkheads, as well as 60° angle for inspection access in confined spaces. Connector adapters are available for PC, UPC or APC polished ferrules in 1.25 mm, 2.5 mm and additional diameters.
The DFS1 Digital FiberScope is available in three different kits which include either PC/UPC adapters, APC adapters, or no adapters. All kits are provided with a soft carry case, an adapter tip storage box, quick reference guide, plus the FiberScope display software update for the M200, M700, C840, C850, C860 and C880 OTDRs.
