JDSU FBP-P205 Video inspection QuickCapture probe microscope, PAL, 200X, 6-pin out w/o USB

The JDSU FBP-P205 is a handheld video inspection probe microscope engineered for fiber optic connector end-face examination. It delivers PAL analog video output to compatible display devices and test platforms, with fixed 200X magnification and a 550 μm horizontal field of view. The probe integrates a 1/3-inch CMOS camera, blue LED coaxial illumination (rated >100,000 hours), and adjustable focus control for in-situ operation.

A QuickCapture button enables instant image capture when connected to compatible modules. Power and video signals route through a 6-pin Hirose connector; this model excludes direct USB connectivity. Handheld ergonomics support single-handed operation during inspection of difficult-to-access connectors.
