EXFO FIP-435B Wireless Inspection Probe
FULLY AUTOMATED. WIRELESS. UNRESTRICTED.
By combining unmatched ease of use and Wi-Fi connectivity along with the flexibility and conviviality of Android™ or iOS smart devices, EXFO is removing the last roadblocks in connector certification and making testing simple and headache-free. With the FIP-435B, there is nothing restricting your field crews from following fiber-testing best practices and eradicating faulty connector issues impacting the performance of your network.
ACCESSIBLE TO ANYONE, ANYWHERE.
Everyone working on your network—regardless of background or skill level—can be equipped with the FIP-435B and perform firstlevel troubleshooting tasks thus address the most common source of problems. Whenever problems arise in whichever type of fiber network deployed—FTTx, central offices, private networks, data centers etc.—fiber connectors are the first critical elements to validate. With the FIP-435B’s 100% automated test sequence, validating the health status of connector endfaces is now a fast and easy one-step process. Install the ConnectorMax2 mobile application on an Android™ or iOS device and turn anyone’s smartphone or tablet into a fully-fledged fiber inspection solution, without compromising on functionality or accuracy of test results.
FIBER INSPECTION REACHES NEW HEIGHTS
During fiber-to-the-antenna (FTTA) installation, operators and infrastructure owners have to hire climbing specialists to mount towers and install the fibers and connect the remoteradio-heads (RRH). This is a costly endeavour. Crews usually familiar with copper or RF technology don’t always have the required fiber-testing background and it is difficult to carry bulky equipment up the towers.
Thanks to a fully automated test process, the FIP-435B helps close the technology gap, reduces the number of climbs required and streamlines the work needed at the top of the tower. The device’s automatic focus adjustment feature delivers optimal image capture resolution while its focus protection feature prevents any risk of false positive results, ensuring technicians won’t have to climb the same mountain twice.
Moreover, it enables tower climbers to leave their phones in their pockets, relying only on the LED pass/fail indicator to get an immediate analysis result based on industry standards. With no heavy platform or phone to handle, the probe can be operated with just one hand, allowing them to concentrate on the task at hand and reach hard-to-access locations more easily.
INSPECTION—WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS
The FIP-435B is a true wireless solution. The live video feed is streamed via Wi-Fi without any wired connection between the probe and the smart device or any need for a cumbersome external battery pack. This greatly improves functional design and eliminates the risk of damaging your smart device by accidentally pulling a wire while manipulating the inspection tool. With its unmatched automation, simplified test ergonomics and pure freedom of operation, the FIP-435B makes technicians lives much easier and facilitates the adoption of best practices.
Moreover, you can benefit from smart device connectivity in any location allowing you to sync results and reports to cloud servers via e-mail or other communication means available through your smart device.
SCREENLESS OPERATION
Thanks to the pass/fail LED, users can perform connector certification without having to look back at the smartphone to view the results. This enables the user to keep their smart device in their pocket, becoming free to use two hands in the inspection process.
NO MORE SMART DEVICE BATTERY DRAIN
EXFO’s wireless fiber inspection probes are not relying on your smart device for power. Probes are self-powered by an onboard battery that can provide a full day of inspection when fully charged. Batteries can be easily recharged when connected to a standard AC power outlet via the USB cable provided.
FAST-TRACKING CONNECTOR INSPECTION
When you outsource your fiber testing, you want to be certain that the technician will apply the best practices and properly certify every connector. Neglecting to do so, at this critical step, will lead to serious, time-consuming problems. The new FIP-400B Wireless Series is the result of years of fiber-inspection experience in the field. Its patent-pending, re-engineered design was developed from actual, end-user feedback for the purpose of optimizing and speeding up the inspection process.
AUTOMATING THE COMPLETE INSPECTION PROCESS
Enabled by its unique automatic focus-adjustment system, the FIP-435B automates each operation in the test sequence, transforming the critical inspection step into a quick and simple one-step process accessible to technicians of any skill level.
The focus-adjustment system ensures that each connector image is captured with maximum quality to facilitate the identification of defects. Moreover, a focus protection feature prevents image capture in the event of improper focus adjustment; ensuring that no defects or residues affecting performance are ignored by the analysis, thus avoiding the reporting of false-positive results. These features all lead to more accurate and consistent test results resulting in first-time-right network deployment.
AUTOMATIC, FIBER IMAGE CENTERING
This function cuts inspection time in half, because it automatically detects the fiber endface and instantly centers the image. The user simply has to focus and capture. This is especially handy when inspecting patch panels and hard-to-reach connectors. It also ensures that users will not miss defects in the critical zones of the connectors.
TRIPLE MAGNIFICATION MODE
By optimizing the image size, users get a detailed view of all defects. This series features the only probes in the industry offering three magnification levels.
SIMULTANEOUS MULTIFIBER VIEW
The FIP-400B Series unique 912 µm x 912 µm field of view greatly facilitates visual MPO/MTP connector inspection.
WORKFLOW INTEGRATION AND PROCESS COMPLIANCE
As some telecom operators have already made the switch to smart devices for their field crews— or will soon—the FIP-425/435B, with Android™ and iOS compatibility, ensures compliance with current operator’s processes and enables users to benefit from smart device connectivity (3G, 4G, Wi-Fi, etc.) directly in the field.
