Key Benefits:

• Measures BOTH multi fiber and single fiber connectors.
• Very small footprint - supplied by default with a laptop computer. Desktop PC available upon request.
• Automatic reference mirror calibration – NO manual adjustments!!
• Automatic connector centering – NO manual adjustments!!
• Automatic focus – NO manual adjustments!!
• Hermetically sealed optical module – a dusty production environment is no longer a problem.
• High resolution camera and optics - results in improved repeatability and reproducibility.
• Simple connections – just a single power cord and USB 2.0 port on the rear.
• No anti-vibration table required. Fan-less design eliminates any system induced vibration.
• Patented reference guide pins are integrated into the chuck and made of ceramic, so they can never bend.
• Fast measurement – typically less than 45 seconds including calibration verification.
• No calibration whatsoever required when changing chucks from single fiber to MT/MTP® or MT-RJ.
• Simple operation - insert the connector and right click to measure. Centering, focus and the scan are all automatic.
• Calibration is held on the instrument itself, eliminating the need to keep the interferometer and PC as a matched pair.
• Software backup, calibration and an image of the supplied PC are all stored on the instrument itself, in non-volatile memory – making lost disks, viruses, deleted files, corrupted Windows and PC failures a snap to recover from.
• Manufactured by a vendor that has sold more automated connector measuring interferometers than all other vendors combined.
• Costs 30% less than the prior version and the complete system ships in a single 16”x16”x20” box when configured with a laptop.
