ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber inspection device includes a housing, wherein the housing defines an opening disposed on an end portion. A lens is disposed within the housing, wherein the lens and the opening define an axis of viewing. A fiber position assembly is mounted to the housing. The fiber position assembly includes a tube having a first axial end portion and a second axial end portion. An inner diameter of the first axial end portion is larger than an inner diameter of the second axial end portion. The inner diameters of the first and second axial end portions of the tube define an inner passage, wherein a longitudinal axis of the inner passage is about perpendicular to the axis of viewing.
