Cable fault testing for fibre technicians

The Fluke FI-500 FiberInspector Micro is a handheld camera for inspecting optical-fibre end faces before connection. It supports SC, LC, 1.25 mm and 2.50 mm connector tips and runs on two rechargeable NiMH cells at 6 V DC. The unit weighs approximately 275 g and measures 139.70 mm by 81.28 mm by 38.10 mm.

Battery operation and portable form factor

Two nickel-metal-hydride batteries power the device for field use without mains supply. The compact enclosure fits in a tool pouch and adds minimal weight to a technician’s kit. USB connectivity allows data transfer or charging when a host computer is available.

Sustained inspection sessions in the field

The rechargeable cells support extended periods of connector verification without swapping power sources. Pass/fail analysis runs on each captured image so repetitive checks do not degrade throughput. The fixed tip set covers common single-mode and multi-mode interfaces without extra accessories.

Questions about this item

How do I attach the correct tip to the FI-500 probe for SC, LC, 1.25 mm or 2.50 mm connectors?

Select the supplied UPC tip that matches the connector ferrule, push it straight onto the probe nose until it clicks, then insert the tip into the adapter for a centred view.

What ongoing upkeep does the FI-500 require?

Recharge the two NiMH cells via the 6 V DC input when the battery indicator falls low; clean each UPC tip with a lint-free wipe before every inspection session.

What limits continuous use of the FI-500 during a long testing shift?

Battery run-time is the first constraint; the two NiMH cells power the probe and display until the 6 V DC pack needs recharging.
