Features

Large field of view

Pass/Fail analysis of an MPO connector is done in a single scan taking just 3 seconds (for MPO12/16).
Guide holes and ferrule surface are inspected at the same magnification as fibers.

Unsurpassed optical performance*

High-contrast precision optics, optimal axial illumination and 20MP sensor provide for accurate measurements of small anomalies.
*among handheld microscopes for multi-fiber inspection with a similar FOV.

Versatility from bench to patch panel

Manta HM can be used as a handheld probe for testing transceivers and bulkhead connectors in patch panels, as well as a benchtop solution for production lines and labs.

NEW! Compatibility with Android phone

A Google Pixel phone and the MaxInspect application for Android allow you to use Manta HM as a portable field tool and inspect the connectors on site with the precision of a benchtop microscope.
