Manta W+ Microscope
Engineered for high-performance inspection across all fiber connector types—from LC to MPO and beyond.


Award Winner
Manta W+ is a revolutionary portable microscope designed for inspection of all types of single and multi-fiber optical connectors, patch cords and bulkhead, included but not limited to: MT, MPO, SN-MT, MMC, LC, FC, SC, CS®, SN®, MDC, E2000™, MXC, PRIZM, QSFP, ARINC, MIL-38999, ODC®, Q-ODC®, SMA, High-power SMA, Avim, mini-Avim and more.
Featuring resolution of a benchtop microscope, the probe gives the possibility to check multi-fiber, SMA and single fiber connectors in the field. The whole MTP®/MPO connector is tested in just one scan — as fast as 2 seconds*!
Manta W+ can be used for visual inspection of the connector end face for scratches, defects and contamination, as well as for automatic Pass/Fail testing based on IEC standards. Part number for ordering: SMX-Manta-W+.
