HP3-60 display system combines fiber inspection and optical power
measurement into a single handheld device. Integrating these two
fundamental optical tools into one handheld device results in a
significant increase in workflow efficiency and decrease in total
inspection and test time. The HP3-60 system, derived from the
popular HD3 series, provides high-quality image resolution in a
compact, portable design. The integrated power meter offers quick,
easy, and accurate field measurements of optical power and
attenuation. Easy push-button operation makes the device simple and
straightforward to use, while the inspect-test process procedure
establishes optimal workflow practices. "JDSU leads the industry in
promoting Inspect Before You Connect best practices when handling
optical connectors," said Matt Brown, director of product
management in the JDSU Communications Test and Measurement business
segment. Brown added, ""By joining together two of the most basic
fiber optic tools into one low-cost unit, we enable technicians to
avoid the number one cause of network downtime: contaminated
fiber." A probe and patchcord microscope on the HP3-60 allows users
to visually see the end-face of a fiber optic connector on a 1.8
inch TFT LCD, while an optical power meter measures the power of an
optical signal. The HP3-60 will also work in tandem with the JDSU
T-BERD(R)/MTS 4000, 6000, 8000 systems. Any technician who is
handling fiber can perform the most essential functions with this
tool. About JDSU JDSU (Nasdaq: JDSU; and TSX: JDU) enables
