Chapter 1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the FiberChek Sidewinder MPO Inspection Probe.
Inspection of fiber optic interconnects is essential for the optimal performance and longevity of fiber optic
networks. Every time they are handled, fiber connectors must be inspected to ensure no debris or damage
is present. VIAVI has made this critical task easier than ever with the FiberChek Sidewinder MPO Inspection
Probe. Sidewinder’s standalone operation, color touchscreen display, and Wi-Fi connectivity allow fast, reliable
maintenance of optical connector quality.
