The Fluke Networks FI27000NW FiberInspector Pro Fiber Optic Inspection Microscope/Versiv 2 (Non-Wireless Version) allows users to inspect and certify end-faces in 2 seconds so they can get the job done the first time. Automated PASS/FAIL certification take the guess work out of fiber inspection so anyone can be a fiber expert.

End-face contamination is a leading cause of fiber failures. Dirt and contaminant cause insertion loss and back-reflection that inhibits optical transmission and causes havoc with transceivers. Fiber loss and OTDR testing can expose this problem, but in many cases, dirty connections make fiber testing time consuming and inaccurate.

Since dirt can be an issue before, during, or after fiber optic certification testing, and migrate from one end-face to another upon mating, both sides of any connection must always be cleaned and inspected.

Further, mating contaminated connectors can cause permanent damage as microscopic debris is crushed between end-faces in physical contact. Even factory terminated patch cords or pigtails must be inspected as protective caps do not keep end-faces clean. Avoiding this common cause of failure, starts with inspecting the end-face and eliminating any contamination before insertion into a bulkhead or piece of equipment.

The Versiv 2 Cabling Certification Product Family has a modular design with swappable testing modules that provide four types of testing (copper and fiber optic cabling, and Ethernet and Wi-Fi network cabling) plus report generation software and a cloud service for managing jobs. Its ProjX System manages job requirements and progress from setup to systems acceptance, making sure all tests are completed correctly. The Taptive User Interface simplifies set up, eliminates errors and speeds up troubleshooting. It even lets users upload and integrate results from multiple testers at multiple jobsites so they can quickly generate reports with the de-facto industry standard LinkWare PC.

Fiber Inspection Certification

Certify fiber end-faces to industry standards - IEC 61300-3-35; or manually grade end-faces.

Inspection Fail

Inspection Pass

Graphical indication of Problem Areas

The FI2-7000-NW FiberInspector Pro highlights defects found on fiber end-faces. Instead of just coloring the defect area, the FI2-7000-NW colors the defect and highlights the defect's background so that the defect is clearly visible. Defects that fail the standard's requirements are colored Red, while defects that pass are colored Green.

Store End-face Images

Store both end-face images of a fiber directly in Versiv 2 test results. Combine end-face images with CertiFiber Pro OLTS and/or OptiFiber Pro OTDR test results for the complete history of the fiber cabling health.

Built on the Versiv 2 Platform

The FI2-7000-NW is built on the Versiv 2 Cable Certification Platform which enables users to easily add optical loss (OLTS) and Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (OTDR) or even twisted pair copper or network analysis functionality to FI2-7000-NW. Product add-on kits are available for the DTX CableAnalyzer, CertiFiber Pro OLTS, OptiFiber Pro OTDR and OneTouch AT Network Assistant.

Versiv 2's ProjX System

ProjX manages jobs from setup to systems acceptance, ensuring that all tests are completed correctly. Enter the testing details for a job once, and ProjX stores them in a project file with a name the whole team can understand. Change modules or jobs without having to re-enter details. Support multiple testers on the same job by sharing project files via USB sticks or email.

Taptive User Interface

Now users can test across multiple media types and requirements as easy as using a smartphone. Simply, select the job being worked on, and the large display confirms the test that needs to be performed. Taptive helps users tap into the overall cabling infrastructure faster and more easily.

LinkWare Management System

Leveraging the popular and multi-featured LinkWare management software application, FI2-7000-NW FiberInspector Pro users can easily access the ProjX management system data, generate reports, and upgrade the software in their testers. Project Managers have full capabilities to manage workflow and consolidate test results. Users can provide the finishing touch by adding their company logo to the report and offer it unaltered to their customers for system acceptance purposes. Keep business tools simple, no matter which Fluke Networks copper or fiber tester being used, LinkWare is the software package that reports it all.

PASS/FAIL Fiber End-face Grading

The FI2-7000-NW's PASS/FAIL fiber end-face grading is available to all Versiv 2 owners. It is included in Versiv 2 firmware v3.0 and higher. To enjoy this free fiber end-face grading, just download the latest Versiv 2 firmware and create a new Project using FiberInspector as the test.
