DESCRIPTION:

The VIAVI P5000i is an intelligent automated fibre inspection and analysis microscope engineered for optical connector end-face certification, contamination detection, and standards-based fibre inspection across telecom, enterprise, hyperscale data centre, FTTH, wireless, aerospace, and optical manufacturing environments.

Designed around the industry-standard “Inspect Before You Connect™” methodology, the P5000i combines automated fibre image capture, contamination analysis, and IEC-compliant pass/fail certification within a compact handheld USB-powered inspection platform optimised for field and laboratory deployment.

The platform is engineered for:

• fibre connector inspection
• contamination analysis
• IEC 61300-3-35 certification
• FTTH deployment validation
• MPO/MTP connector verification
• optical transport troubleshooting
• enterprise fibre certification
• wireless fronthaul fibre inspection
• data centre connector validation
• optical manufacturing QA workflows

The P5000i removes subjective manual interpretation from fibre inspection by automatically capturing, centering, analysing, and grading connector end-faces according to configurable pass/fail criteria and industry inspection standards.

The system supports automated inspection of:

• LC connectors
• SC connectors
• FC connectors
• ST connectors
• MPO/MTP interfaces
• simplex and duplex connectors
• bulkhead adapters
• patch cord assemblies
• hardened fibre connectors

Integrated dual-magnification capability allows rapid switching between overview and detailed inspection modes while maintaining automated image centering and contamination analysis workflows.

The P5000i integrates directly with:

• T-BERD/MTS-2000
• T-BERD/MTS-4000 V2
• T-BERD/MTS-5800
• SmartOTDR
• OneAdvisor platforms
• SMARTClass Fiber systems
• FiberChekPRO software
• Android mobile devices via FiberChekMOBILE

without requiring additional adapters or external software integration.

Its portable USB-powered architecture enables deployment across:

• telecom field operations
• FTTH installations
• hyperscale data centres
• enterprise fibre certification
• wireless FTTA deployments
• manufacturing QA environments
• military and aerospace optical systems
