Optical Connector Inspection Solution

04 October 2024 – Viavi Solutions presented a new optical connector inspection solution for next-generation transceivers. The FVAM-2000 is the latest addition to the company’s benchtop microscopy line and, along with other new optical and Ethernet testing solutions, was on display at VIAVI Stand during ECOC 2024, September 23-25 in Frankfurt, Germany. ECOC is Europe’s largest exhibition in the optical communication technology industry.

Parallel optic connectors, including multi-fiber push on (MPO), are driving a need for new and advanced inspection test methods to simplify operation and workflow in manufacturing. The FVAM-2000 addresses MPO and other new bulkhead connectors designed into 800G formats, such as the octal small form factor pluggable (OSFP) and quad small form factor pluggable (QSFP), that are propelling the industry today. This advanced inspection solution features a new, easy-to-attach, easy-to-change connector interface that is specifically designed to accommodate bulkhead-type devices. The FVAM-2000 leverages the VIAVI next-generation panoptic microscope engine yielding brighter, higher contrast images and faster panning performance. The FVAM-2000 is also equipped with an advanced automation framework that enables it to integrate into a PC-driven workflow, critical in high-volume manufacturing environments.
