FOCIS Flex

Fiber Optic Connector Inspection System

FOCIS Flex makes connector inspection simple, fast, and convenient. With the press of a single button, FOCIS Flex auto-focuses, captures and centers the end-face image, applies Pass/Fail rules, displays image and Pass/Fail results, saves results internally and/or wirelessly transfers data to a paired FlexScan OTDR or a smart device. It is fast, small, and easy to use to enable 100% connector inspection.

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 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.

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.

Wide range of adapter tips:Interchangeable adapter tips support connector inspection for a wide range of both single-fiber and multi- fiber patchcords and bulkhead-mounted connectors having either PC or APC polished end-faces.

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 Google play or App Store for sharing data with smart devices.
