What is VisiMap?
The VisiMap suite of products is designed to fulfill the needs of today's fiber installers, technicians, and Network Operations personnel using safe, efficient, and modern methods. Multi-Fiber Solutions has developed a two-tiered product line to meet the challenges of identifying and testing in today's high-density fiber environments.
Two tiers, three levels
Tier 1 identifies, tests continuity, verifies polarity, and documents. Tier 2 adds 2-way communications and qualification testing through plug-in modules. Everything reads at the 2nd end by camera, never by eye.
LED identification
Zero laser risk, lowest cost. Multimode up to 1 km and single-mode up to 2 km. Identify, test continuity, verify polarity, and document with a 2nd end receiver.
Tier 1 detailsVisible-laser identification
Longer single-mode reach and visible-laser fault location. The 6VFL carries the tap port that steps up to Tier 2; the 12VIR adds an internal near-infrared source.
Tier 1 modulesIdentification plus testing
A Tier 1 module with plug-ins in its tap port. 2-way communications, remote mode switching, power-loss and OTDR qualification testing, all on one connection.
Tier 2 detailsFiber Control Modules
Each FCM assigns unique encoded light signatures to every port simultaneously. Choose the configuration that fits your deployment.
12-port LED module
LED-based encoded identification for any cable type. Low cost, ideal for data centers. Multimode applications up to 1 km and single-mode up to 2 km. Removes laser risk entirely. Modular and expandable to 24, 36, or 48 ports.
6-port VFL module
One for every tech: keyed, proprietary pen-style mini-VFLs, field-expandable to 12 ports. Powered and sequenced by the FCM, no batteries, field-swappable. Optional tap port for CCM/OLS/OTDR.
12-port visible laser
Visible laser module with encoded signatures at 520nm and 650nm wavelengths via DMX512 protocol.
12-port visible + infrared
6 visible and 6 NIR lasers. Internal NIR replaces external OLS module.
2nd end receivers
Camera-based receivers that identify each strand without physical contact. A 7-inch tablet family and a generic-smartphone family, each with a wired otoscope option and a passive large-core fiber option.
RX-Type 1, 1A, 1B
Modified 7-inch tablet with a wired 3.9mm USB custom otoscope that reads visible and near-infrared light (Type 1); generic tablet reading a 2.8-inch display with its own camera (Type 1A); generic tablet with a passive large-core fiber (Type 1B). Eye-safe indirect viewing with visual and audible identification. WiFi and Bluetooth enabled, cloud-connected documentation.
RX-Type 2, 2B
Generic $50 smartphone in a VisiMap enclosure with a wired 3.9mm USB otoscope (Type 2) or a passive large-core fiber to the phone's camera (Type 2B). The VisiMap App (receiver and remote control app) announces each strand and carries the Tier 2 OLS, OTDR, and RemoteView controls.
Expand capabilities on one connection
Optional modules plug into the FCM tap port — adding communications, optical testing, and reflectometry without reconnecting.
CCM
Two-way comms and control. Remote mode switching between ID, VFL, power loss, and OTDR testing. Remote OTDR trace viewing.
OLS module
Optical Light Source for near-infrared wavelength testing. Plugs into FCM tap port.
OTDR module
Optical Time Domain Reflectometer for full fiber characterization, loss measurement, and fault location.
