Manta HM (stands for "high magnification") is an automated microscope for inspection of single and multi-fiber patch cords, bulkhead and transceivers, including but not limited to: MT, MPO, LC, FC, SC, CS®, E2000™, PRIZM, QSFP, ARINC, MIL Spec termini, ODC12, High-power SMA, Avim, mini-Avim and more.

Manta HM can be used for visual inspection of a connector end face for scratches, defects and contamination, as well as for automatic Pass/Fail testing based on IEC standards.

Application: production lines, laboratories, incoming inspection, maintenance in data-centers.

Recommended for: high-power laser applications, single mode connector inspection, final verification, and other cases where small details matter.

Part number for ordering: SMX-Manta-HM.

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.

Wide variety of tips

Inspect all types of single-fiber and multi-fiber optical connectors, patchcords and bulkhead, included but not limited to: MT, MPO, LC, FC, SC, E2000™, PRIZM, QSFP, ARINC, MIL-38999, ODC12, High-power SMA, Avim, mini-Avim and more.
