The P5000i Fiber Inspection Microscope is used with the T‑BERD 5800 to inspect single‑mode fiber end faces before testing. Technicians attach the correct bulkhead or patch‑cord tip to the probe, connect it to the tester, and view the fiber image to check for contamination. If the end face is dirty, it must be cleaned and re‑inspected until it passes. The quick card lists required equipment, including the T‑BERD 5800, P5000i, appropriate inspection tips, and cleaning tools. Proper inspection helps prevent signal loss, protects equipment, and ensures high‑quality fiber connections during testing.
