Fiber Inspection Microscope for Reliable Network Performance
Clean connectors are critical for fiber network performance, certification, and long-term reliability.
When inspecting fiber optic links, connector end faces must be checked before every connection to prevent:
• Signal loss
• Contamination
• Permanent damage to fiber interfaces
With the Softing fiber optic microscope, connector end faces can be quickly inspected and automatically evaluated according to IEC 61300-3-35 standards.
Thanks to the USB interface, the microscope integrates seamlessly with:
• WireXpert
• FiberXpert
• NetXpert XG
• LinkXpert M3
Inspection results can be directly attached to test reports and certification documentation, supporting professional workflows and compliance requirements.
