Versiv™ modular design supports copper certification, fibre optic loss, OTDR testing and fibre end-face inspection
Perfect for fibre inspection

Fibre optic connector end-face contamination is a leading cause of fibre failures. Dirt and contaminant cause insertion loss and back-reflection that inhibits optical transmission and causes havoc with transceivers. Fibre loss and OTDR testing can expose this problem, but in many cases, dirty connections make fibre testing time consuming and inaccurate.

Since dirt can be an issue before, during, or after fibre optic certification testing, and migrate from one fibre optic connector end-face to another upon mating, both sides of any connection must always be cleaned and inspected. Further, mating contaminated fibre optic connectors can cause permanent damage as microscopic debris is crushed between end-faces in physical contact. Even factory terminated patch cords or pigtails must be inspected as protective caps do not keep fibre optic connector end-faces clean. Avoiding this common cause of failure, starts with inspecting the fibre optic connector end-face and eliminating any contamination before insertion into a bulkhead or piece of equipment.

The FI-7000 FiberInspector Pro is a fibre optic inspection scope that allows you to inspect and certify fibre optic connector end-faces in 1 seconds so you can get the job done the first time. This fibre optic inspection scope provides automated PASS/FAIL certification take the guess work out of fibre inspection so anyone can be a fibre expert.
