Highlights

Leverage zero-button MPO inspection.

Inspecting an MPO-12? Simply affix the FIP-500 to the connector endface and—in less than 10 seconds—a pass/fail result is automatically obtained and saved without the need for any settings or further manipulation.

Less handling, more doing.

Quick-connect tips: Swap tips in a quarter-turn click, a small but life-changing innovation. No loose parts, not a second wasted.

Longer reach: By design, the FIP-500 provides longer reach and better handling for inspection in dense fiber environments or on top of telecom towers.

Intuitive graphical user interface (GUI): Leveraging the capabilities of the touchscreen, the GUI is very user-friendly for any technician, regardless of their experience.

Test all day with lots of battery life and memory.

Long battery life: The FIP-500 is powered by a Lithium-Polymer rechargeable battery which can support a full day of continuous use.

Memory space: With an internal memory that can save up to 1800 MPO test results or 10 000 single-fiber test results, there is no need to stop and offload results. Bluetooth connectivity ensures that these results can be shared easily.

These features, added to an ergonomic hand grip, all come together in helping the technician to close jobs all day without any interruption. This battery life and memory space combo is unique in the industry—and will give field teams equipped with the FIP-500 yet another solid advantage on the competition.

Lowering the cost of ownership.

Every aspect of the FIP-500 has been designed to make savings in time and expenses, lowering its overall cost of ownership.

No training required: Zero-button, fully automated inspection combined to an intuitive GUI makes it easy for any technician to make the most of the FIP-500, without training.

Less tips and no loose parts: By default, the FIP-500 provides a longer reach than regular tips, reducing the overall number of tips that a technician needs to carry around. The simple yet innovative quarter-turn mechanism to swap tips means that there are no loose parts when changing them, hence lowering the risk of losing items.

Future-proof: The FIP-500 supports the inspection of MPO connectors with up to 4 rows by default. Periodical releases will enable new software functionalities.
