Just right for Troubleshooting
Today's high density fiber patch panels make inspection a challenge. Finding the
cable or port to test can be tough, especially in the low light conditions found in most
data centers and wiring closets.
The FI-500 is designed to simplify the inspection process. The built-in PortBright
flashlight helps you find the right port or cable. The small-profile probe fits into tight
spots, and features pushbutton controls for simple operation. Autofocus provides a
sharp view of the endface in under a second, while the pause button freezes the
image on the crisp 320 x 240 display for more detailed inspection.
The FI-500 FiberInspector Micro fills the gap between a manual scope and a fully
automated inspection scope. The FI-500 has the simplicity and practicality of a
manual inspection scope, but with advanced features to reduce troubleshooting and
inspection time.
Manual fiber inspection scopes are simple to use, but they don't work well on patch
panels or situations where there is a high density of fiber. Holding it up to one eye
and closing your other eye is often inconvenient or impractical, especially in a dark
room.
Fully automatic inspection scopes analyze and grade the cleanliness of fiber
connections which is important for many applications, but analysis is usually not
needed for quick basic troubleshooting.
Dirty fiber optic endfaces are the
major cause of problems in
singlemode and multimode fiber
optic systems.
The FI-500 FiberInspector™ Micro
removes the hassle associated with
inspecting fiber endfaces, especially
in low light and high cable density
situations.
It is very simple to use:
Simply plug the cable into the FI-500
and touch the AF button. Within
seconds, the fiber endface comes
into sharp, clear view. And if you're
working in a difficult to reach place
or you can't get the image to stand
still, just touch the pause button to
freeze the image.
