Fujikura introduces the FOCIS PRO

Fujikura Europe Ltd (FEL) introduces the family of FOCIS PRO automatic fibre inspection solutions. Providing network personnel with an automated solution for analysis and documentation of fibre connector cleanliness and integrity, the FOCIS PRO completely eliminates the subjective aspect of fibre inspection.

Designed for all inspection tasks, FOCIS PRO is a powerful, easy-to-use alternative to existing inspection solutions. The optical resolution and detection specifications exceed current international standards, and software-based applications are upgradeable making FOCIS PRO solutions truly future-proof.

"With the substantial growth in data traffic and associated higher data rates, the demand for exceptional performance of network systems is becoming more and more crucial," explained Ian Tweedle, Sales Manager for FEL's test equipment division. "It is therefore imperative that fibres are clean and free from defects. The FOCIS PRO delivers a solution for these specific requirements."

The FOCIS PRO System consists of the DFD1 Touch Screen Tablet, DFS1 Digital FibreScope, and the new SimpleView™ PRO software. The system is capable of centring a fibre image, identifying critical core, cladding, adhesive and contact zones, while detecting and categorising the types of defects found. The software analyses a typical fibre in less than five seconds. Its 'Zoom/Pan' feature combined with a large, clear and robust display enables users to identify the smallest particles, scratches and imperfections.

Unique to FOCIS and FOCIS PRO products is the patent-pending paired image feature which allows users to make immediate fibre cleanliness comparisons. FOCIS PRO users can capture and save up to 1000 fibre images, review images on-site, and share images via USB memory sticks or SD flash cards. All basic FOCIS units can be upgraded to the functionality of FOCIS PRO.

FOCIS PRO is the most advanced Fujikura fibre inspection product on the market, unique in its ability to combine automatic analysis, inspection and reporting features, with superior handheld ergonomics.
