SMX-Manta+V2 is a portable microscope probe designed for inspection of all types of single and multi-fiber optical connectors, patch cords and bulkhead, included but not limited to: MT, MPO, LC, FC, SC, E2000™, PRIZM, QSFP, ARINC, MIL Spec termini, ODC12, High-power SMA, Avim, mini-Avim and more.

The probe can be used for visual inspection of the connector end-face for scratches, defects and contamination and for automatic Pass/ Fail testing. The field of view of Manta+V2 is ideal for large fiber military connectors and enables to inspect multi-fiber connectors in two scans each taking around 2 seconds.

Applicable for field use, lab and manufacturing, the Manta+V2 is an essential tool to verify quality of the produced fiber optic connectors, perform receiving inspection, prevent and troubleshoot network failures.
SMX-Manta+V2 is an upgraded model of SMX-Manta+ with improved reliability and usability.
