The EXFO FOMS (Fibre Optic Microscope Scope) is a handheld optical inspection microscope designed for direct visual inspection of fibre optic connector end-faces in both field and laboratory environments. The FOMS-400X-UNIV variant provides 400X magnification and is fitted with a universal 2.5mm adapter compatible with PC and APC polished connectors, including FC, SC, and ST connector types.

Optical network faults are frequently caused by contaminated or damaged connectors. The FOMS allows engineers and technicians to quickly and accurately assess the cleanliness and physical condition of connector ferrules prior to mating, helping to prevent signal loss, increased back-reflection, and long-term damage to optical components.

The FOMS-400X-UNIV is a standalone, battery-powered optical microscope that requires no external display or PC connection, making it suitable for rapid field deployment. It incorporates coaxial illumination and an integrated infrared/laser safety filter to protect the user's eyes from direct exposure to live fibre.
