EXFO FIP-500 Fibre Inspection Scope
The EXFO FIP-500 is a self-contained, fully automated fibre inspection scope for single-fibre, duplex and multi-fibre connectors that grades end-faces against IEC 61300-3-35 and saves results without user steps [1]. EXFO states it was selected to inspect F-35 fibre optics [2]. Novatelia supplies it by RFQ in Oman and on qualified GCC projects.
