FVAM Series Benchtop Microscopes

An end-to-end automated inspection and analysis system for fiber end-face conditions, supporting multi-fiber connectors such as MPO and pluggable devices like transceivers. It enables fast, accurate, and highly efficient verification of fiber end-face quality and cleanliness, making it ideal for data center environments and modern fiber network infrastructures.

The FVAM-2000 is the latest product in VIAVI’s benchtop fiber-connector microscope family, specifically designed for optical laboratories and production environments. It delivers fast, flexible, and highly accurate automated fiber end-face inspection, supported by comprehensive analysis software.

A key highlight is its specially engineered optical adapter system, enhanced with optimized illumination, which enables efficient inspection of pluggable optical transceivers, whether equipped with long pull tabs or not.
