Purchasing Advisor for Fiber End Inspection Devices

Find all you need for professionally buying fiber end inspection devices: an interactive tool with a comprehensive and trustworthy directory of suppliers and expert guidance for a structured decision process with scientific and technical background information.

Top-level product categories: icon fiber optics, icon vision, displays and imaging

Related product categories: fibers, fiber optics

In some situations, it is crucial to closely inspect the ends of optical fibers to ensure the high quality of splices and other fiber connections. Specialized fiber microscopes are convenient instruments for such purposes, providing detailed views of fiber end surfaces.

Interactive Purchase Decision Tool

Purchasing high-value photonics products is a substantial responsibility. Using a structured decision-making process and high quality supplier data helps a lot:

Go through the process:

1. Understand the technical background

It is important to sufficiently understand the technology before buying.

Use the comprehensive learning resources of RP Photonics:

If you need personal help, contact RP Photonics to get technical consultancy.

2. Define your requirements

It is essential to fully understand and clearly define your requirements before you purchase.

We recommend that you develop a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs, against which you can later check the suitability of found product offers:

To help you, we have already listed some aspects we recommend you consider when buying fiber end inspection devices. Of course, there may be other aspects that are relevant to your specific case.

This list is for your own preparation, and can later (possibly in modified form) be used for quotation requests to suppliers.

Otherwise, you will need to talk to your technical colleagues.

If you cannot sufficiently clarify your requirements, you may want to get technical consultancy from RP Photonics.

You find these buttons in the supplier list below or under "3. Find suitable suppliers".

3. Find suitable suppliers

We suggest three steps:

  • Below, you can find our list of suppliers for fiber end inspection devices. Use the checkboxes to mark possibly suitable suppliers.
  • The selected suppliers will appear below this list, along with your list of specifications. You can then indicate which specifications they meet according to your research. (You should finalize your specifications before doing this.)
  • Based on the results, you can finally choose a supplier that is hopefully a good enough fit.

4. Document the decision process

It is essential to document your purchasing process, not only its result (chosen supplier):

  • You will find it easier next time.
  • If something goes wrong, you can defend your decision by showing that you properly considered all important aspects. Or you see what needs to be done better next time.

fiber end inspection devices

Particles con­tami­nating the end face of optical fibers are typically only 2 to 20 µm in size, but substantially degrade the performance. Inspecting a fiber connection with a microscope that illuminates and magnifies the fiber tip is the only way to ensure that this connection is free of contamination and defects. Our extensive range of fiber optic microscopes for every application and budget provides intuitive and reliable inspection solutions for certification of new installations or troubleshooting of existing networks, avoiding subjective evaluations and estimates:

fiber end inspection devices

Nyfors offers high precision interferometers for checking the end face quality of cleaved optical fibers and for cleave process optimization. They show crisp and clear fringe patterns and come with software for advanced measurement functionality. Ideal for use in production settings and when working with difficult to cleave fibers in laboratory environments.

Fiber holder adapters available for use with cleavers and splicers from the major splicer manufacturers. This facilitates easy transfer of the fiber from cleaver to interferometer and then onto the splicer with no need for reclamping.
