Revolutionary 2-Second MPO Inspection Technology
The FOCIS Lightning2 is a compact, self-contained inspection probe specifically engineered for the demanding requirements of hyperscale data centers where connector contamination can cripple network performance. This advanced tool captures and displays the entire MPO end-face image in less than two seconds, supporting MPO-8, -12, -16, -24, and -32 connector configurations with seamless result sharing via USB and Bluetooth®. One-button operation provides auto-focusing, centering, and Pass/Fail analysis at both connector and individual fibre levels, delivering industry-standard cleanliness analysis at about 1 second per fibre with no complexity or guesswork.
Built for Hyperscale. Engineered for Speed.
For hyperscale operators managing thousands of critical MPO connections, this solution enables lightning-fast validation cycles that prevent downtime from contamination issues, keeping AI workloads and mission-critical applications running at peak performance. Complete end-face imaging ensures no contamination goes undetected across all standard MPO configurations, while integrated sharing capabilities streamline reporting and team collaboration. In environments where every second of downtime costs thousands of dollars and contaminated connections can cascade into network-wide failures, the FOCIS Lightning2 transforms fibre inspection from a time-consuming bottleneck into an instant validation process that maintains hyperscale operational excellence.
The Competitive Edge
Pass/Fail results in seconds: FOCIS Lightning2 is designed to quickly inspect multi-fibre connectors and bulkheads, such as MPO and MTP®, including multi-row varieties. It can perform industry standard and user-defined end-face cleanliness analysis at a rate of about 1 second per fibre, significantly speeding up inspection time when compared with other technologies.
Internal storage and multiple export options: FOCIS Lightning2 can store 10,000 connector level and individual fibre images, analysis, overlays, and zones tables locally and provides optional Bluetooth wireless links for archiving and reporting. AFL’s FlexApp (iOS and Android) provides a comprehensive and user-friendly feature set as well as connectivity with AFL’s FlexReporter Cloud.
Untethered operation: With a rechargeable battery and integrated 3.5” TFT color LCD touchscreen, FOCIS Lightning2 can be used independently without external monitors.
Multi-fibre front-end adapter tips: Multi-fibre front-end adapter tips support single row and multi-row MT connector inspection for a wide range of patch cords and bulkhead-mounted connectors having either PC/UPC or APC polished end-faces. The probe snout includes a key which in combination with a slot on the adapter tips ensures that adapter tips never loosen during use, under any circumstances.
Easy reporting and archiving: AFL's FlexReporter Software Suite is a complete platform for report generation and results sharing. This platform includes FlexApp, a mobile app that wirelessly transfers test results from the field to the Cloud. These results can be accessed via FlexReports that provide a variety of easy-to-use options for report generation.
