FI-3000 / FI2-7300 FiberInspector™ Ultra Camera
Key Features
Live View with AutoFocus and AutoCentering For Instant Real-Time Visibility
Plug the connector into the FI-3000, touch the autofocus button, and the Live View feature delivers a live view of the fiber end face immediately - with no setup or processing time. Dual cameras provide a single, integrated view of the single fiber or entire MPO endface. Use simple gestures to zoom into the portion of interest, pan across the connector, or just tap the image of a specific fiber for a detailed view.
Optional Automated Pass/Fail testing of end faces in seconds
Manual inspection of fiber links and MPO connections can be slow and subject to human error. Manually tracking across multiple fiber end faces in the connector makes it easy to miss one or more. The FiberInspector Ultra’s autotest mode examines all fiber end faces in the connector, grades them as per industry standard IEC 61300-3-35, and provides an overall PASS or FAIL result in less than two seconds per fiber. The gesture-based user interface makes it easy to switch from the summary to a detailed view.
When an end face fails, the FiberInspector shows which fibers failed, and highlights the areas that caused the failure: contamination, pits, chips, and scratches. By understanding the cause of the failure, the user can determine the type of cleaning needed or if the connector is damaged beyond repair.
Lightweight, Ergonomic Design with Holster
The FI-3000’s unique design makes it easy to inspect both bulkheads and trunk cables. The compact and lightweight (326 g / 11.5 oz) design means you can use it all day without fatigue. The built-in PortBright™ illumination makes it easy to find the right port in dense patch panels in dim data centers or dark wiring closets. All FI-3000 models include a holster which provides convenient access to the camera as well as storage for inspection tips and a Quick Clean™ cleaner.
iOS and Android Apps for Simple Data Sharing
The FI-3000 can also be connected over Wi-Fi to iOS or Android devices for small jobs or a quick inspection. The FiberInspector app (FI-IN) shows simple optional PASS/FAIL results, but also gives you complete control over the FI-3000, so you can zoom in or out of each end end face and pan across a Live View of the entire end face. FI-IN also supports naming and storing of results in the device – or sending them as an image or PDF report to others on the team for quick, simple collaboration.
Detailed Reporting
Generate detailed PDF reports from your phone or Versiv™ tester. Versiv and LinkWare™ also support integrated reports including Tier 1 (Loss) and Tier 2 (OTDR) tests.
Integrates with Versiv™ and LinkWare™ for Project Management and Reporting*
For those installing multiple fiber links, MPO trunks, cassettes, or array cables as part of a new installation or upgrade, the FI-3000 integrates with the Versiv™ Cabling Certification System for fast, error-free project management and reporting. Versiv’s ProjX™ Management System lets you define each job including the types of cables, identifiers, required tests, and limits. Techs can use the same platform for loss (Tier 1), OTDR (Tier 2), and inspection, reducing training costs and the likelihood of errors. The FI-3000 connects to Versiv via a USB cable.
Versiv features a large, high-resolution display that lets you see the results clearly. The gesture-based Taptive™ screen makes it easy to pan across or zoom in and out of the Live View image.
The FI-3000 used with a Versiv mainframe also works with LinkWare – the defacto industry standard for documenting cabling systems. LinkWare lets you combine Tier 1, Tier 2, and inspection results into a single report for full documentation of every link in the system. The cloud-based version, LinkWare Live, makes it easy to track the progress of the job from your smartphone or PC and share results with customers.
Non-Wireless Options
The FI2-7300-NW provides the user the ability to test single or MPO connections in secure facilities that do not allow wireless-capable devices. This kit has the same configuration as the FI2-7300 but with Wi-Fi disabled.
The Complete Solution for Fiber Inspection
The FI-3000 FiberInspector Ultra kit comes with everything you need to test nearly any type of fiber:
- Ergonomic and Rugged FI-3000 Camera with USB and Wi-Fi communications.
- MPO tips for 12/24 UPC and 12/24 APC connectors
- Adapter for single-fiber
The FI2-7300 FiberInspector Ultra adds a Versiv™ mainframe to the FI-3000
Tips for Every Need
The FI-3000 comes standard with tips for inspecting 12/24 UPC and 12/24 APC endfaces. The accessory tip is available for 16/32 UPC configurations.
The FI-3000 addresses your single-fiber inspection needs with the same autofocus, autocentering, autograding and Live View features as MPO. Optional tips are available to support LC, SC, 1.25 mm, 2.5 mm, and E2000.

The FI-3000 FiberInspector Ultra offers an extensive feature set that makes testing MPO fiber trunks, cassettes, and array cables easy and efficient. The multiple-camera design provides an instant Live View with simple touchscreen gestures to move from full trunk to individual end faces in real-time. Touch “TEST”, and in seconds, you’ll get an automated PASS/FAIL result compliant with IEC 61300-3-35. Store results on your phone and share them through text messages, or email, or use the industry-leading LinkWare platform to store complete project reports including copper, fiber loss, OTDR, and end face images. Compact, ergonomic design with autofocus makes it comfortable and fast even when you’re testing hundreds of cables or ports.
“A speck of dust that’s invisible to the human eye can cause intermittent errors or even complete failure on a fiber optic connection. That’s why every fiber must interconnect – even on cables straight from the factory – be inspected before it’s connected.” - Mike Hughes, VP of Product Management, US Conec, a global leader in the development and supply of high-density optical interconnects.
