Fiber Scope
The VeEX digital fiber inspection scopes evaluate fiber optic connectors for dirt and end face quality. The handheld probe design enables easy inspection of patch cords and difficult to reach bulkhead or patch panel connectors. Clear images are displayed on the test sets for immediate analysis and can be saved for record keeping.
The Fiberscope test application can be used in conjunction with the VeEX DI-1000, DI-1000MPO*, and DI-3000 Digital Fiber Inspection Microscopes. Check the test platform's specifications on www.veexinc.com to see which fiberscopes are compatible.
All fiber inspection scopes are powered via a USB Type-A connection with the host device or the VeEX Power Bank/WiFi Bridge. For host devices that have Micro-B or Micro-C input ports, USB Type A to Micro-B or Micro-C OTG adapters are available as an add-on order from VeEX.
Not all test set platforms support MPO/multi-fiber inspections.
The Importance of Fiber Connector Inspection
Dirty or scratched connectors introduce loss, increase ORL and/or damage other connectors (Loss becomes more critical at higher data rates). End-face contamination is a leading cause of fiber link failures in data centers, corporate networks, MSOs and Telecom environments.
Fiber Inspection Scopes provide a magnified image of the fiber optic connector’s end face, focusing on the contact areas (prone to loss or damage by mating). Images, visual inspection, and automated tools are often used to grade the health and cleanliness of connectors, after polishing or cleaning and before being used.
To achieve maximum power and prevent false readings, clean the optical fiber connector interfaces before inserting them into the test port.
Please ensure the correct fiber connector type is used before inserting it into the test port or connector. Mismatched connector types will damage the optical end faces and the test set.
