Fiber Optic Center has added the FiberChek Probe from Viavi (NASDAQ:VIAV) to its inventory. The all-in-one handheld is intended for technicians at every skill level. The probe is designed to automate fiber inspection workflows and features built-in image viewing, auto-focus, pass/fail analysis, and storage and recall.
The probe is intended for new install deployments, network certification, troubleshooting, moves, adds, and changes. An integrated touch-screen display shows live images and analysis results with navigation and testing for desired acceptance criteria, including IEC-61300-3-35 standards or customer-specific requirements. It also integrates with a selection of other Viavi test solutions and both iOS and Android mobile devices via WiFi, Bluetooth, and USB.
"Fiber networks have reached a point where inspection is an essential part of every technician's job - they no longer have any room for mistakes," says Matt Brown, director of the Viavi Fiber Inspection and Test group. "The FiberChek probe is a fully autonomous handheld device that automates each step of the inspection workflow at the press of a button."
