Connectivity Innovation

“Inspect every LC patchcord before connection—the most critical inspection in your workflow, Get professional 400× magnification in your pocket and view the image on any device—no extra apps, no extra charges. Easy to focus, just plug in and see the difference.”

USB fiber end face inspection uses a USB fiber optic inspection scope or microscope to digitally view the end face of a fiber optic connector for dirt, scratches, and other defects. These devices connect to a computer or mobile device via USB, magnify the end face, and display the image for analysis. This process is critical to prevent network performance degradation and physical damage.  Dirty patchcords contaminate clean bulkhead adapters through contact. 

Pre-Connection Inspection Standard: Industry best practice requires inspecting both ends of every patchcord before insertion into bulkhead adapters. This means each patchcord gets inspected 2× per connection event.  Data Center MACs: In dynamic data center environments with frequent moves/adds/changes, patchcords may be inspected multiple times daily​

Hyperscale data centers and service providers powering AI and machine learning applications face unprecedented fiber connectivity demands. Managing signal integrity across tens of thousands of fiber connectors requires rigorous contamination control—where even microscopic contamination becomes a critical liability—degrading performance, multiplying operational costs, and jeopardizing deployment timelines.

Key Competitive Advantages

• Universal Compatibility: Works with any third-party USB camera software across all major platforms without proprietary software lock-in​

• True Plug-and-Play: UVC1.1 compliance means instant recognition by operating systems​

• Easy to Focus: Wide focal range, does not require additional effort to adjust manual focus dial

• Cost-Effectiveness: Significantly lower price point than professional alternatives while maintaining 400X magnification​ - MSRP USD600 - No other USB-powered end-face inspector at this price point offers true 400× optical zoom. This level of detail ensures that even the smallest scratches and particulates on LC ferrules are clearly visible.

• Manual Control: Physical buttons for image freeze and capture provide tactile feedback​

• High Frame Rate: 60fps live viewing enables smooth real-time inspection​

• Wide Temperature Range: -10℃ to +60℃ operation suitable for field conditions​

• No Battery Required: USB-powered eliminates battery charging and replacement concerns

How it works

• Connection: A USB fiber inspection scope, also called a scope or microscope, connects to a computer or mobile device using a USB cable or wireless connection.

• Magnification: The device magnifies the connector's end face at 400X magnification, depending on the model.

• Illumination: Built-in illumination helps to provide a clear view of the end face.

• Image Capture: The magnified image is displayed on a connected screen, allowing technicians to visually inspect for contaminants and physical damage. 

Why it's important

• Performance: Contaminants, even small ones, can cause high insertion loss and reflectance, severely impacting network performance.

• Durability: Physical defects like scratches can be exacerbated by mating the connector, potentially causing permanent damage.

• Quality Assurance: Inspection before and after mating ensures the integrity of the connection, especially in critical applications like high-speed optical networks. 

Target Users:​

• Small installation contractors requiring basic inspection capabilities

• Educational institutions and training facilities

• DIY enthusiasts and home lab users

• Budget-conscious network technicians

• Organizations needing occasional inspection without certification requirements
