MAX-QM+ is an automated interferometer for inspection of single and multi-fibre connectors of MTP®/MPO, ST, FC, SC, LC, MU, E2000™, SMA types as well as MT, MT-RJ ferrules.
High measurement speed, portable design, autofocus and a large field of view with the ability to test 12 or 16 fibres per row have made MAX-QM+ an immensely popular solution for high-volume production lines.
MAX-QM+ is supplied with the industry-leading MaxInspect™ software for interferometric inspection of fiber optic connectors.
