Datasheet

Overview

The VIAVI DORC ZX-1 micro Array+ HD is a sixth-generation interferometer for measuring MT/MPO®, MMC, MT-RJ and single-fiber connectors on a single platform. It provides high-resolution 2D and 3D imaging for connector geometry analysis, and a measurement requires little more than inserting the connector.

Focus, centering and reference mirror calibration are automated, removing manual adjustments from the operator workflow. Patented ceramic Reference Guide Pin technology maintains measurement accuracy and removes the need for calibration when switching between multi-fiber chucks. For single-fiber measurements, Connect ID™ RFID technology enables rapid apex offset calibration.

The system has a compact footprint, a hermetically sealed optical module and a fan-less design, suiting it to production and laboratory use. Standard and custom chuck options cover a wide range of connector types. Calibration data, software and system backups are stored on the instrument for fast recovery, and results are reported automatically in Microsoft Excel® format with integrated 2D/3D analysis.

The ZX-1 micro Array+ HD is part of the VIAVI DORC ZX-1 micro series of fiber optic connector interferometers, now within the VIAVI Interferometry, Inspection and Cleaning portfolio.
