The FI-7000 FiberInspector Pro enables you to quickly inspect and certify fiber end-faces inside ports or patch cords.
Avoiding this common cause of failure starts with inspecting the end-face and eliminating any contamination before insertion into a bulkhead or piece of equipment. Even factory terminated patch cords or pigtails must be inspected as protective caps do not keep end-faces clean. Further, mating contaminated connectors can cause permanent damage as microscopic debris is crushed between end-faces in physical contact. Since dirt can be an issue before, during, or after fiber optic certification testing, and migrate from one end-face to another upon mating, both sides of any connection must always be cleaned and inspected. Fiber loss and OTDR testing can expose this problem, but in many cases, dirty connections make fiber testing time-consuming and inaccurate. Dirt and contaminants cause insertion loss and back-reflection that inhibits optical transmission and causes havoc with transceivers.
Fluke Networks’ FI-7000 FiberInspector Pro allows you to inspect and certify end-faces in 2 seconds so you can get the job done the first time.Īutomated PASS/FAIL certification takes the guesswork out of fiber inspection so anyone can be a fiber expert.Įnd-face contamination is a leading cause of fiber failures. While inspecting and cleaning end faces and connectors is not new, it is growing in importance and linked with increasing data rates which impact budgets. Roughly 85% of fiber optic network failures are due to contaminated end-faces.
