The EXFO FIP-430B is an MF-Ready Automated Analysis Digital Video Inspection Probe from EXFO's FIP-400B series. Designed for fibre network technicians of all skill levels, it transforms connector endface inspection into a fully automated, one-step process — eliminating manual focusing, centering, and subjective analysis.

The FIP-430B automatically detects fibre connection insertion, centres the fibre image, optimises focus, captures the image, performs pass/fail analysis to IEC or custom standards, and saves and reports results — all without user intervention. Its focus protection feature prevents image capture when focus is insufficient, eliminating the risk of false-positive results.
