Fiber Optic Inspection

Fiber Optic Inspection (FOI) is a process used to inspect fiber optic connectors and ends to ensure that the connector and end surfaces are clean and in good condition. Fiber Optic Inspection typically uses specialized inspection equipment, such as microscopes or video inspection systems, to visually inspect connectors and ends to ensure that they meet specifications and the required quality standards.

Contamination, damage, or defects in fiber optic connectors and ends can lead to optical signal loss, distortion, or connectivity issues that can affect the performance and reliability of a fiber optic network. Therefore, fiber optic inspection is one of the key steps in the fiber optic installation, maintenance and repair process, which can help identify and resolve connectivity issues to ensure proper operation of the fiber optic network.
