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 infrared data channel enabling single-operator control of the entire system.
CCM specifications
| Type | Communications & Control |
| Channel | Bidirectional infrared |
| 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 to remotely switch the FCM between identification mode, VFL mode, power loss (qualification) testing, and OTDR testing — all from the far end. Remote OTDR trace viewing enables troubleshooting in either direction without walking back to the transmit end. 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 + decoder), add communications (CCM) when ready, add optical testing (OLS, OTDR) as requirements grow. Each module is a separate investment that plugs into existing hardware.
