1. Introduction
The KI6880 Mini Fiber Inspection Probe, with support of its imaging software KI6680 Scope Viewer, makes
a handy tool for analysing optic connector end face as per IEC61300-3-35 requirements. The software
which can be connected to the probe via WiFi or USB, works on PC(Window) and Android smart devices.
With just a press of a button, an optical connector end face will be analysed with the resultant image, data,
reports generated and saved automatically. The data saved in PC/smart devices can be easily exported
via USB or shared via many popular social apps.
A combination of versatile and rugged design, easy operation, quality optics and durable construction
ensures that this equipment will enhance the performance of installation and maintenance staff. It is
suitable for single mode multimode fiber, with many connector options including MPO.
