The VFS 1 is a portable video microscope designed to inspect fibre optic connectors through bulkhead adapters. The VFS 1 can be used to inspect fibre optic connectors installed in patch panels, distribution frames, network equipment, and test equipment. It consists of an inspection probe with an internal LED coaxial light source, a miniature CCD video camera, and a high-resolution active matrix LCD display unit.
The front arm of the probe may be used in two positions: straight or 60°. The focus control is located at the rear of the probe. This allows the user to easily focus the probe even while inspecting connectors on equipment back planes or densely packed patch panels. The probe accepts adapter tips that can be quickly changed when inspecting different connector types.
The size and resolution of this display and the resolving power of the optics used in the probe allow detection of pits, scratches, and contamination within the polished end of 125µm fibre. In addition, a wide field of view allows inspection of the surrounding ferrule to a diameter of at least 250µm. A video output is provided for an external monitor. All VFS 1 models include a video probe, carry case, AC adapter, and user's guide. The VFS 1 and VFS 1-CE also include a display unit with internal charging, neck strap, and one rechargeable lead-acid battery. The VFS 1-PC and VFS 1-PCE also include an Interface Unit and (4) AA alkaline batteries |
