Innovative Fiber Inspection Tools Support JDSU's 'Inspect Before
You Connect' Campaign to Promote Best Practices for Handling
Optical Connectors MILPITAS, Calif., Aug. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- JDSU today introduced two new fiber inspection and testing tools
- the FVA digital benchtop fiber microscope system for lab and
manufacturing segment and the MP Series optical power meter for
field test technicians. Both instruments support the company's
Inspect Before You Connect(TM) campaign, which is designed to
educate customers about the best practices and industry quality
standards for improving the speed and efficiency of handling
optical connectors. (Photo:

digital benchtop microscope system cuts fiber inspection time in
half and provides an objective and repeatable measurement that
enables users to ensure standard compliance of their connectors.
The JDSU FVA eliminates operator subjectivity with a fully
automated inspection system that quickly and consistently focuses
and centers the fiber image. It also locates and counts defects,
scratches and evaluates against pass/fail criteria. The new MP
Series OPM is a miniature optical power meter that connects to a PC
via a USB 2.0 connection. The MP Series OPM is an innovative
alternative for one of the industry's most fundamental optical
tools, adding the capability to obtain and record optical power
measurements to a PC, laptop, or other JDSU test devices. The most
significant benefit of the MP series optical power meter is
realized when it is combined with a JDSU P5000 microscope with
pass/fail analysis, enabling technicians to effectively implement a
systematic and proactive method for fully documented inspection and
test wherever fiber connectivity is handled. "With these new
products, our customers can now ensure and document that they are
compliant to industry end face quality standards, such as the
pending IEC-61300-3-35," said Jim Nerschook, vice president and
general manager in JDSU's Communications Test and Measurement
business segment. "JDSU strives to provide technicians with fast
and reliable methods for non-subjective pass/fail image analysis.
With the new MP Series OPM, logging optical power measurements,
generating summary reports, and archiving information is now a
breeze." Please visit http://www.jdsu.com/inspect for more
