Test and Inspection
FOCIS Flex
Fibre optic connector inspection system
With the press of a single button, FOCIS Flex auto-focuses, captures and centres the end-face image, to apply pass/fail results for easy inspection.
Fast and easy inspection.
With just one button press.
The FOCIS Flex is highly compact inspection scope that makes the most out of its liquid lens camera technology to ensure fast auto-focus, centring, and pass/fail analysis. It’s been built to be fast and effective in the field, so inspection requires just one button press. On completion of the inspection, FOCIS Flex displays image and pass/fail results, saves results internally and/or wirelessly transfers data to a paired FlexScan OTDR or a smart device.
FOCIS Flex is fast, small, and easy to use to enable 100% connector inspection. It enables easy and fast inspection all in a few seconds and can be used independently – without an external OTDR or display unit. Alternatively, images can be sent to the FOCIS App (iOS and Android) which provides a comprehensive and user-friendly feature set as well as connectivity with aeRos® cloud-based Workflow and Test Management Solution.
Independent, untethered operation
With rechargeable battery and integrated display, FOCIS Flex can be used independently without requiring an external OTDR or display unit.
Optional pairing with FlexScan OTDR or smart devices
Captured images and Pass/Fail results can be immediately displayed and easily saved on either a paired FlexScan OTDR or a smart device equipped with the AFL’s free FOCIS Flex app. This capability enables inspection results to be included in reporting and archiving.
Wide range of adapter tips
Interchangeable adapter tips support connector inspection for a wide range of both single-fibre and multifibre patch cords and bulkhead-mounted connectors having either PC or APC polished end-faces.
Save results internally or externally
FOCIS Flex internally stores up to 10,000 results using file-naming capabilities similar to those of the FlexScan OTDR. A micro-USB port supports fast upload of internally stored results to PC and ensures your FOCIS Flex software can be updated to the latest features and supported languages.
Bundled kits for significant savings
FOCIS Flex is available in kits that include a basic license for Test Result Manager (TRM® 3.0), user-selected adapter tips and cleaning supplies, and a soft carry case.
Easy reporting and archiving
Included Test Result Manager (TRM 3.0) provides data processing and reporting locally via a PC. The FOCIS Flex mobile app is available for free download from app stores for sharing data with smart devices.
