One connection. Every strand identified.
VisiMap's Fiber Control Modules assign unique encoded light signatures to every port simultaneously. 2nd end receivers identify each strand without physical contact.
Two-device system
A Fiber Control Module at the transmit end and a 2nd end receiver at the receive end. Connected by the fiber cable you're testing.
Fiber Control Module (FCM)
Assigns a unique encoded light signature to every fiber port simultaneously using visible wavelengths (520nm, 650nm) and temporal patterns via DMX512 protocol. Available in LED, visible laser, and visible + infrared configurations with 6 or 12 ports.
2nd end receiver (RX)
Camera-based device that detects and decodes port signatures without physical contact. Results displayed on screen and announced audibly. Available in tablet and smartphone form factors, with a wired 3.9mm otoscope camera or a passive large-core fiber feeding the device's own camera.
Encoded light signatures
Each fiber port receives a unique combination of color and temporal pattern — machine-decoded at the far end, not human-interpreted.
Color encoding
Two visible wavelengths — 520nm (green) and 650nm (red) — provide the first dimension of identification. Each port gets a specific wavelength assignment.
Temporal encoding
DMX512 lighting protocol generates distinct flash patterns at 1–10 Hz. Morse code encoding with encrypted symbol substitution adds a second identification dimension.
Non-contact decoding
The 2nd end receiver's otoscope camera reads the encoded signatures without touching the connector. Software decodes the pattern and announces the strand ID audibly.
All on one connection
Optional plug-in modules transform the FCM from an identifier into a complete test platform — without reconnecting.
CCM
Communications & Control Module opens a bidirectional data channel on the identified strand. Remote mode switching between identification, VFL, power loss testing, and OTDR — from the 2nd end.
OLS module
Optical Light Source module plugs into the FCM tap port. Provides near-infrared wavelengths (1310nm, 1550nm) for qualification testing.
OTDR module
Optical Time Domain Reflectometer module enables complete fiber characterization — loss measurement, fault location, and event analysis from the same connection.
