INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the FiberChek Video Inspection Probe!
Inspection of ber optic interconnects is essential for the optimal performance and longevity of ber
optic networks. Every time they are handled, ber connectors must be inspected to ensure no debris or
damage is present. Viavi has made this critical task easier than ever with the FiberChek inspection probe.
FiberChek's standalone operation, color touchscreen display, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity allow
fast, reliable maintenance of optical connector quality.
