Since the invention of the fibre optic cable in the 1950s, these technological marvels have been inspected with the utmost care, using either the human eye or visual inspection probes.

The latter has previously been used to send a beam of light along the cable, with undamaged cables allowing the light to pass through to the other end. But in more recent times, the digital fibre inspection probe has taken any guesswork out of such practices while improving inspection accuracy.

TMG Equipment has built a leading range of testing tools for Australian technicians to improve their quality of work. VIAVI is one brand leading the way in fibre inspection tools, and the FBP-P5000 digital inspection probe has changed the game.

As VIAVI’s only master distributor for Australian contractors, TMG is proud to present this blog and educate you on the benefits of digital inspections.

So, what do digital inspection probes do, you ask?
