IRA1-00-0900 - Inspection Reference Artefact Ferrule
Features:
-
Each kit includes 2 artefact ferrules: each
with a different pattern and each with 4 line widths: ½ micron, ¾ micron,
1 micron, and 2 microns
-
Each total pattern is 100 microns across and
is centred on a 125 micron fibre end-face
-
One ferrule contains concentric circles
(targets) of the various line widths for a quick check of fibre-scope
performance
-
The other ferrule contains line pairs for
resolution quantification, line segments for scratch recognition, and spot
defects for pit recognition
-
Each kit also includes a Video Microscope
Magnification Reference card calibrated to 125-micron fibre (measures up
to 500x)

AFL Telecommunications through its Noyes Fiber Systems division, has teamed with Norsam Technologies to produce the “Standard” in fibre optic connector inspection. Precision etchings are made on the fibre end face of FC connectors with patented Ion-beam technology providing line width accuracy of +/- 30nanometers.
This tool answers the following user questions: What does a 1-micron spot (pit) look like? Can I see a ½ micron line (scratch) with the fibre scope I am currently using? Can automated inspection software (machine vision) recognize a ¾ micron line (scratch)? Is my video fibre scope still providing the image resolution I need? What is the real magnification of my fibre inspection system? |
