DESCRIPTION:

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

Designed around the industry-standard “Inspect Before You Connect™” methodology, the FiberChek Probe combines integrated touchscreen operation, automated fibre image capture, auto-focus, contamination analysis, and IEC-compliant pass/fail grading within a fully self-contained handheld inspection platform optimised for field deployment.

The platform is engineered for:

• fibre connector inspection
• contamination analysis
• IEC 61300-3-35 certification
• FTTH deployment validation
• MPO/MTP connector verification
• enterprise fibre certification
• wireless FTTA inspection
• data centre connector validation
• optical manufacturing QA workflows
• telecom maintenance operations

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

The platform supports automated inspection of:

• LC connectors
• SC connectors
• FC connectors
• ST connectors
• MPO/MTP interfaces
• simplex and duplex connectors
• bulkhead adapters
• hardened fibre connectors
• military/aerospace optical connectors

Its integrated touchscreen architecture allows technicians to perform live fibre viewing, auto-focus inspection, pass/fail analysis, image storage, and report export directly from the microscope without requiring a connected laptop or external display.

The FiberChek Probe supports standalone autonomous operation or connected operation through:

• WiFi
• USB
• Bluetooth
• mobile devices
• FiberChekPRO software
• FiberChekMOBILE
• VIAVI T-BERD platforms
• OneAdvisor systems

allowing flexible deployment across field, laboratory, and production environments.

The platform integrates directly with:

• T-BERD/MTS-2000
• T-BERD/MTS-4000 V2
• T-BERD/MTS-5800
• SmartOTDR
• OneAdvisor platforms
• FiberChekPRO
• FiberChekMOBILE

for centralized inspection workflows and automated certification reporting.
