DESCRIPTION:

The VIAVI FVAi/FVDi Series are high-performance digital benchtop fibre inspection and analysis microscopes engineered for optical connector certification, contamination analysis, and manufacturing quality assurance across telecom, enterprise, hyperscale data centre, aerospace, defence, and optical production environments.

Designed for fibre manufacturing facilities, optical assembly operations, laboratory environments, and production QA workflows, the FVAi/FVDi series combines automated fibre image analysis, IEC-compliant pass/fail grading, onboard inspection workflows, and high-resolution optical imaging within a compact benchtop architecture optimised for repeatable production processes.

The platform family is engineered for:

• fibre connector certification
• contamination analysis
• optical manufacturing QA
• MPO/MTP inspection
• post-polish verification
• end-face quality certification
• production-line fibre inspection
• aerospace optical validation
• enterprise fibre QA
• telecom connector manufacturing

The FVAi/FVDi series supports:

• simplex connector inspection
• duplex connector inspection
• MPO/MTP inspection
• bulkhead connector analysis
• patch cord verification
• multifibre connector certification
• ferrule quality analysis
• contamination detection workflows

The microscopes incorporate integrated automated pass/fail grading and automated end-face analysis to eliminate subjective manual interpretation while improving inspection repeatability and production throughput.

Two primary optical platform families are available:

• 2030 Series — 30x ultra-wide field-of-view contamination inspection
• 2400 Series — 400x high-resolution IEC certification and polish-quality analysis

The 2030 platform is optimised for rapid contamination visibility across the entire ferrule end-face during manufacturing processes, while the 2400 platform is engineered for high-resolution scratch analysis, polish verification, and IEC-61300-3-35 compliance certification.

FVAi models incorporate automated focus capability for workflow acceleration, while FVDi models provide manual-focus operation for applications requiring operator-controlled imaging workflows. Long-working-distance FVDi-2400-L variants support specialised inspection environments including pinned MPO connector validation.

Integrated touchscreen operation, onboard result storage, VGA/USB external display support, and FiberChekPRO compatibility allow the microscopes to operate as standalone inspection systems or as part of centralized production QA and reporting environments.
