AFL FOCIS

A self-contained fiber inspection probe for fast MPO/MTP® and single-fiber connector inspection, with auto-focus, auto-centering, automated pass/fail analysis and untethered touchscreen operation.

High-density fiber links depend on clean, correctly prepared connector end faces. A contaminated MPO/MTP® interface can affect multiple fibers at once, making visual inspection and documented cleanliness verification an important part of installation, turn-up and troubleshooting.

FOCIS Lightning®2 combines image capture, auto-focus, auto-centering and pass/fail analysis in a handheld platform. AFL states that it can capture and display an entire MPO end face in less than two seconds, helping technicians shorten the time between inspection and corrective action.

Inspect Multi-Fiber Connectors Faster

Capture the full MPO end face in under two seconds and analyze cleanliness at approximately one second per fiber.

Automate Inspection Decisions

Use auto-focus, auto-centering and automated pass/fail analysis based on industry or user-defined criteria.

Work Untethered

The integrated touchscreen and rechargeable battery allow the probe to operate independently without a separate display.

Document and Share Results

Store images and results locally, then transfer data through USB-C or Bluetooth workflows for archiving and reporting.

The system supports both multi-fiber and single-fiber inspection using interchangeable front-end tips. AFL documents support for MPO-8, -12, -16, -24 and -32, including single-row and multi-row formats.
