Plug-in modules
Communications, optical testing, and reflectometry modules that plug into the FCM tap port. All capabilities on one connection.
Communications & Control Module (CCM)
Bidirectional data channel on the identified strand enabling single-operator control of the entire system.
CCM specifications
| Type | Communications & Control |
| Channel | Bidirectional, on the identified strand |
| Remote modes | ID → VFL → OLS → OTDR |
| OTDR viewing | Remote trace display |
| Interface | FCM tap port |
What it does for you
The CCM enables a single operator at the 2nd end to remotely switch the FCM at end #1 between identification mode, VFL mode, power loss (qualification) testing, and OTDR testing. Remote OTDR trace viewing lets the technician begin troubleshooting at the 2nd end and work toward the 1st end without walking back. Multi-fiber identification and testing with two-way communications and remote viewing.
OLS and OTDR modules
Optical testing modules that transform the FCM from an identifier into a complete test platform.
OLS module
| Type | Optical Light Source |
| Wavelengths | 1310nm, 1550nm (NIR) |
| Interface | FCM tap port |
| Note | FCM-12VIR internal NIR may replace external OLS |
OTDR module
| Type | Reflectometer |
| Measurements | Loss, distance, events |
| Interface | FCM tap port |
| Remote viewing | Via CCM bidirectional channel |
All on one connection
With FCM, CCM, OLS, and OTDR modules connected, VisiMap performs identification, fault location, qualification testing, power metering, and documentation — without disconnecting.
What this means for your team
Traditional workflows require separate test instruments and separate connections for each function. VisiMap's modular architecture consolidates everything into one connection — less connector handling, less contamination risk, less total test time.
Modular investment
Start with identification (FCM plus 2nd end receiver), add communications (CCM) when ready, add optical testing (OLS, OTDR) as requirements grow. Each module is a separate investment that plugs into existing hardware.
Build the right system for your team
A single technician uniquely identifies a fiber, audibly verifies it, establishes communications, accesses remote switching and test resources, and completes OTDR analysis, with no second technician at the other end of the cable.
