FOCIS Duel Optical Inspection Ports
FOCIS Duel is a self-contained twin-ported Bluetooth connected ber optic
connector inspection probe.
1 Port 1 – Fully featured optical inspection port. With the press of a single
button, Port 1 auto-focuses, captures, centers and analyzes the end-face
image to industry standard IEC 61300-3-35 (2015), IPC, AT&T and user-dened
criteria. Port 1 is compatible and interworks over Bluetooth with the FOCIS App
(on iOS and Android smart devices) and provides aeRos connectivity.
2 Port 1 adapter tip – Interchangeable adapter tips support single and multi-
ber connector inspection for a wide range of
patch cords and bulkhead-mounted connectors
having either PC/UPC or APC polished end-
faces. A key on the probe snout combined
with a slot on the adapter tips assures that
adapter tips never loosen during use, under any
circumstances. Quad-slotted APC adapter
tips ensure the screen is visible in any use
case.
3 Port 2 - The functionality of Port 2
is limited. Port 2 features fast and
convenient female click-in adapters, auto-focus
and 2X zoom capabilities. Port 2 is intended
for subjective “view only” inspection. There is
no image capture or end-face automatic pass/
fail analysis on Port 2. No FOCIS App support or
aeRos cloud support for Port 2.
4 Port 2 adapter tip– A slot on the adapter
tips combined with a keyed snout eliminates
loosening during normal use. Port 2 adapter tips
are available for all common connector types –
Universal 1.25 mm and 2.5 mm, SC and LC in
both UPC and APC polish types.

user action, enabling rapid subjective
connector end-face cleanliness and surface
condition assessments.
However, additional auto-focus of manual
focus may be needed, if connectors are
with different polish angles.
