Fluke Networks FI-500 Fiber Optic Test

Fiber inspection device for quick and reliable checking of fiber optic connector end faces. Dirty fiber optic end faces are the most common cause of problems in single-mode and multi-mode fiber optic systems. The FI-500 FiberInspector Micro eliminates the difficulties of inspecting connector end faces, especially in environments with poor lighting and high cable density. It is very easy to use: simply plug the cable into the FI-500 and press the A button. In seconds, the connector end face is displayed clearly and sharply. And if you need to work in very tight conditions or can't keep the image steady, just press the pause button to freeze the image. Perfect for troubleshooting. The densely packed fiber optic patch panels make inspections a challenge. It can be difficult to locate the cable or port to be tested, especially under the dark conditions commonly found in most data centers and wiring closets today. The FI-500 simplifies the testing process. The integrated PortBright lighting helps you find the right port or cable. The slim probe fits into tight spaces and features push buttons for easy operation. With autofocus, you get a clear view of the end face in less than a second, while the pause button freezes the image on the sharp 320 x 240 display for closer examination. The FI-500 FiberInspector Micro fills the gap between a manual probe and a fully automated inspection probe. The FI-500 combines the simplicity and practicality of a manual inspection camera with advanced features that reduce troubleshooting and inspection time. Manual inspection cameras can be easy to use, but they do not perform very well with patch panels or in situations where the fibers are densely packed.
