The latest addition to Fujikura Europe Limited's wide range of fibre optic test equipment is the Noyes VS300 View Safe Inspection Scope.

The VS300 eliminates the concerns for eye safety resulting from the reliability and verifiability issues of laser filters, particularly while inspecting connector end-faces in long haul and DWDM installations.

Rather than an optical system with a laser filter for viewing fibre connectors, this new design utilises a miniature camera and a state of the art micro-display that achieves the unparalleled clarity and resolution associated with Noyes inspection scopes.

The VS300 is the latest generation of Noyes Inspection Scopes and has all the benefits of its predecessor the OFS300 but with some major improvements. These include the removal of an optical path to the user's eye, video output and it is exceptionally light weight - just half the weight of its predecessor.

The magnification of the unit is equivalent to 400x (23 degree field of view comparable to an 8" monitor viewed at a distance of 20") and provides 600x when its video output is displayed on a 12" monitor. The unit also has energy saving automatic shut-off.
