Spartanburg, S.C., December 12, 2024 – AFL, a global leader in providing end-to-end solutions for the energy, service provider, enterprise, hyperscale and industrial markets, announces the launch of the FOCIS Flex Lite.

The FOCIS Flex Lite quickly and accurately analyzes fiber connectors, providing technicians with clear and reliable results based on industry and user-defined criteria. With just the press of a single button, the device auto-focuses, captures, centers the end-face image, analyzes the connector by applying Pass/Fail rules, and displays results instantly. This simple operation eliminates guesswork, enabling precise and reliable inspection within seconds.

"The FOCIS Flex Lite delivers cost-effective connector inspection without sacrificing essential features or operational performance," says AFL Director of Product and Marketing Arun Jain. "It allows service providers to maintain superior performance standards while aligning with budgetary considerations."

The FOCIS Flex Lite features a user-friendly design and straightforward operation, allowing technicians to easily navigate through the inspection process. The system supports a wide range of adapter tips with interchangeable options for various connectors. Its untethered, portable design is compact, and a rechargeable battery makes it ideal for on-the-go technicians and high-volume service providers.
