Description

Trend USB Fibre Optic Video Inspection Microscope R163-VIP

The Trend R163-VIP USB Fibre Optic Video Inspection Microscope is designed for inspecting fibre optic connector end faces before testing or network deployment. Used with compatible TREND Networks testers, it helps technicians identify contamination, scratches and other defects that can contribute to signal loss, failed tests and unreliable fibre links.

The R163-VIP provides a clear magnified view of fibre connector end faces, helping installers check cleanliness and condition before carrying out certification or troubleshooting. When used with supported TREND testers, inspection results can be analysed automatically and given a Pass/Fail result in accordance with IEC 61300-3-35.

Compatible TREND software can automatically detect when the connector is in focus, capture the image and highlight defects within the fibre core and cladding areas. This reduces reliance on subjective visual checks and helps engineers quickly decide whether a connector needs cleaning or further investigation.

The microscope connects directly via USB and is supplied with 2.5mm and 1.25mm inspection tips for checking common fibre connector ferrules outside panels, couplers and bulkheads. Additional adapter tips are available for UPC and APC connector types, giving technicians greater flexibility across different fibre installations.

Inspection images can be stored alongside test results on compatible TREND equipment and exported when required. They can also be incorporated into project records and reports, providing evidence that fibre connectors were inspected before testing or commissioning.
