FCM-12LED
LED-based parallel identification that eliminates laser risk entirely — ideal for data centers, multimode applications up to 1 km, and single-mode up to 2 km
LED-based parallel identification that eliminates laser risk entirely — ideal for data centers, multimode applications up to 1 km, and single-mode up to 2 km
Zero laser risk
LED light sources remove laser safety concerns completely. No Laser Safety Officer designation required.
12 strands per cycle
Identify every strand in a 12-fiber trunk cable in a single test cycle instead of 12 sequential VFL tests.
Modular to 48 ports
Low-cost fiber-coupled LED sources make the design modular and expandable — configure 12, 24, 36, or 48 ports as deployment requirements grow.
Multimode to 1 km, single-mode to 2 km
Tested to 950 m on OM3 multimode and 2 km on single-mode fiber, with no change in configuration.
MPO polarity verification
Paired with the 2nd-end MPO breakout box, it safely identifies MPO trunk polarity method (A, B, or C) and confirms TX/RX polarity in duplex deployments.
Field-configurable in minutes
Reconfigures in about two minutes to an MPO trunk or any simplex/duplex connector — LC, SC, ST, or FC — via LGX adapter panels and a rear repatch panel.

About
The FCM-12LED is a 12-strand LED-based Fiber Control Module that provides encoded parallel identification for any multi-fiber cable — MPO or non-MPO. By using LED light sources instead of lasers, it eliminates laser safety risk entirely. Low-cost fiber-coupled LEDs make it modular and expandable to 48 ports, it reconfigures in minutes to virtually any connector type, and it has been tested to 950 m on OM3 multimode and 2 km on single-mode fiber.
Best for
Data centers, FTTX last-mile, campus, A/V, and security deployments where zero laser risk is preferred. Tier 1 — the Essential level of the VisiMap line.
