Product Overview

FOCIS Lightning2 is a compact self-contained inspection probe that captures and displays the entire MPO end-face image in less than two seconds. One button provides auto-focusing, centering, and Pass/Fail analysis at the connector and individual fiber level. It can complete a 24-fiber MPO inspection task in less than 15 seconds. Results can be easily shared via USB and Bluetooth®.

Pass/Fail results in seconds: FOCIS Lightning2 was designed to quickly inspect multi-fiber connectors and bulkheads, such as MPO and MTP®, including multi-row varieties. It can perform industry standard and user-defined end-face cleanliness analysis at a rate of about 1 second per fiber – significantly speeding up inspection time when compared with other technologies.

Internal storage and multiple export options: FOCIS Lightning2 can store 10,000 connector level and individual fiber images, analysis, overlays, and zones tables locally and provides optional Bluetooth wireless links for archiving and reporting. The AFL’s FlexApp (iOS and Android) provides a comprehensive and user-friendly feature set as well as connectivity with AFL’s FlexReporter-Cloud.

Untethered operation: With rechargeable battery and integrated 3.5” TFT color LCD touchscreen, FOCIS Lightning2 can be used independently.
