    - ST, FC, SC, LC, LSH, MU
    - PC, APC, and UPC polish
    - Bare Ferrule: 1.25mm, 1.6mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.2mm
    - Custom adapters

Calibration Targets

fibo targetsCalibration targets set the FiBO apart from the competition.

Each FiBO is shipped with three calibration targets that give the user the option to calibrate the FiBO system at any time.

FiBO is a stable system and calibration is not required very often, but it may be necessary is certain cases such as after transportation or in the event of dramatic environmental changes. 

  • 2D calibration target consists of a target pattern mounted in a kinematic holder. The pattern is created using precision electron beam lithography technique that has an inherent 3 sigma lateral accuracy better than ±0.15 microns.

  • 3D calibration target consists of a precision made plano-convex lens mounted in a kinematic holder.

  • APEX OFFSET calibration target is rotated three times on the FiBO and a measurement is taken at each position. FiBO Code software uses these measurements to calculate the average angular apex offset of a connector and the resulting value is then removed in subsequent apex offset measurements.
