Available Applications

 Patch Panel Inspection

Many patch panels are designed to allow the front connector to be easily

inspected, but the back one is often difficult to access. Inspecting the

connector on the front side of the panel can usually be performed with a

simple fiber inspection microscope. However, the back connectors are not

as easily inspected with traditional microscopes, thus requiring

time-consuming troubleshooting. The FVM100 offers a fast and effective

means of installing, troubleshooting or maintaining fiber optic patch

panels.

 Inspection of Cable Assemblies

When Video Inspection Probe is equipped with proper Adapter Tip, you can

also inspect patch cords, pigtails, and cable assemblies.
