“It usually takes several seconds for inspection equipment to evaluate the connector against the standard and report a pass or fail,” said Neil Bessant, Fusion Splicer Divisional Manager at Fujikura Europe. “The speed of FOCIS WiFI is just one of the reasons why this is a must for any field and maintenance engineer.” The app provides a wireless Fibre Optic Connector Inspection System to equip personnel with real-time digital analysis and reporting, as well as advanced functionality to save and verify standards instantly. With wireless connection of an inspection probe, it can be installed on a range of mobile devices including an Android, iOS phone or tablet. Three different FOCIS WiFi systems offer the following features:
- FOCIS WiFi VIEW – enables users to view live images of a fibre endface on their smartphone or tablet
- FOCIS WiFi PLUS – enables users to view, save, recall and share saved endface images via email, text or mobile cloud applications like Dropbox or Google Driv
- FOCIS WiFi PRO – enables users to automatically analyse connector integrity according to IEC 61300-3-35, AT&T TP-76461 or user-defined standards and save, recall and share results via email, text or mobile cloud applications.
Fujikura will be presenting the NEW FOCIS PRO Inspection Kit (FOCIS WiFi) at ECOC 2014, Europe’s largest optical communications conference and exhibition, held in Cannes (September 21-25)
