New ODM® Fiber Optic Inspection Scope Combines Wi-Fi Functionality With Ergonomic Design
CROMWELL, Conn., July 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Ripley Tools introduces the new ODM® brand VIS 500 Wireless Fiber Inspection Scope. The VIS 500 simplifies the crucial fiber inspection process using automated image centering and focus, intelligent PASS/FAIL analysis, and easily pairs with Android™ and Apple® iOS devices. Contaminated fiber end-faces are the leading cause of optical link failures, and solutions that make inspection easier will help reduce installation problems.
Lightweight and compact with a no-slip ergonomic grip, the just over 10-ounce wireless scope is the perfect addition to any tower climber's tool bag or cable installers tool belt. Technicians can quickly and easily focus, analyze, and save the images in less than seven seconds and then upload results for cloud-based reporting. Quick change adapter tips available to accommodate all connector styles and ODM® inSpec® software is included to integrate the VIS 500 with Android or iOS, allowing users to easily view fiber end-faces, run automated analysis, save images, and create/share reports.
