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.

connect the monitor via USB wire to your computer or take the SD
card out of the SD slot and read it with the card reader we offered.
These monitors can be powered by an output 110-240V DC/AC or a
rechargeable Li-ion battery equipped inside. Video input is dedicated
to PAL/NTSC formatted probe. All of the display’s controls are built into
