The Manta C is a wide field-of-view microscope probe for single-fiber inspection, designed to ensure cleanliness of the fiber end face and ferrule surface - ideal for large-fiber and large-core military connectors.
It supports a broad range of connector types, including LC, FC, SC, MU, E2000™, CS®, SN®, MDC, Arinc, Avim, mini-Avim, SMA, high-power SMA, and MIL-spec termini, on both patch cord and bulkhead sides. MTP®/MPO inspection is available in two scans (2 seconds each).
Suitable for field, lab, and manufacturing environments, the Manta C is essential for quality control, incoming inspection, and network troubleshooting.
Part number for ordering: SMX-Manta-C.
Check the fiber end face along with the surrounding ferrule surface. Inspect large fiber and large-core military connectors.
* Compared to other handheld microscopes for single-fiber inspection.
