The T-Focus Tube Connector was developed by Fiber Systems International for CCOM and is used on THAD, WinT, Patriot Systems and other military systems. The following equipment was designed to fix and repair the connector and cable of the T-Focus Tube Connector.

- 560XL & 570XL light source and power meters are designed to troubleshoot and determine the operational capacity of the fiber.

- Visual Inspection Scope allows the technician to plug directly on to the connector to see if the connector is broken, damaged or dirty. It has the ability to clean the connector if it is dirty. A broken connector can be fixed using the FORCE001 kit and FAST kit.

- Optical Reflectometer, included in the FORCE001 kit, allows the technician to troubleshoot faults to within 1-meter in the fiber. The OTDR includes a visual fault locator which can pinpoint a fault within a non-jacketed fiber.

- The FORCE001 and FAST kits include a mechanical splice for expedient repairs. Also included in both kits, the AFLD900, a fully automated fusion splice kit which restores Comms with no loss in signal.
