This handheld fibre inspection microscope (AUA-200X, AUA-400X or AUA-200XD) magnifies a connector end face 200x or 400x under LED illumination, so you can see scratches, pits and dirt before mating or splicing. It takes SC, FC and ST connectors on the 2.5mm adapter and LC on the 1.25mm adapter, has a built-in infrared attenuation filter and runs on three No.7 (AAA) 1.5V dry batteries.
Features and Benefits
- 200x or 400x magnification - choose 200x for routine checks or 400x for a closer look at the end face.
- 2.5mm and 1.25mm adapters supplied - SC, FC, ST and LC connectors; the AUA-200XD adds a 3.175mm SMA905 adapter.
- Built-in infrared attenuation filter - an added layer of eye protection.
- LED illumination with light switch and focusing handwheel - a lit, sharp view of the ferrule.
- Rubber-covered anti-slip body and soft eyecup - comfortable one-handed use in the field.

A: It magnifies the end face of a fibre connector so you can see dirt, scratches or damage before mating, testing or splicing. This one offers 200x or 400x.. Q: Which connectors can it inspect? A: SC, FC and ST on the 2.5mm adapter and LC on the 1.25mm adapter. The AUA-200XD also includes a 3.175mm SMA905 adapter.. Q: Should I choose 200x or 400x? A: Both use the same body and adapters. The 400x model magnifies the end face twice as much as the 200x model.. Q: What batteries does it take? A: Three No.7 (AAA) 1.5V dry batteries, fitted in the compartment at the adapter end..
