Dirt, dust and other contaminants are the enemy of high-speed data transmission over optical fiber. With today’s network applications requiring more bandwidth and loss budgets being tighter than ever before, it is imperative that all optical connections are clean and free of contaminants to ensure network operation. Fluke Networks’ OptiView Series III Integrated Network Analyzer together with the OptiView Fiber Inspector Option is the solution.
The OptiView Fiber Inspector Option, a portable video microscope that connects to a USB port on an OptiView Series III Integrated Network Analyzer, gives you superior vision by enabling you to inspect all types of installed fiber terminations in hardware devices and patch panels. It saves you time by eliminating the need to access the rear of patch panels or disassemble hardware devices prior to inspection. Instead of removing each individual fiber, you need only insert the video probe to inspect the fiber while it’s still in place.
The OptiView Fiber Inspector:
- Easily inspects fiber connectors already installed on patch panels.
- Quickly determines whether fiber connectors on a hardware device are clean and in good condition – without disassembling the device!
- Eliminates the hazards of inspecting live fiber.
- Is compatible with standard ST, SC, and FC connectors, and other connector types including small form factor connectors with optional adapter tips.
- Leverages the investment already made in the OptiView Series III Integrated Network Analyzer by eliminating the need for a separate display.
