With these fault locators you can easily isolate high losses and faults in optical fiber cables. The bright beam of 650nm or 635nm red light in a fiber allows you to see a break as a glowing or blinking red light. Two versions are available: one with a universal port for 2.5mm ferrule connectors (FC, SC, ST, E2000, DIN), and one which includes an adapter that allows use with 1.25mm ferrule connectors as well (LC, MU).
- Both CW and pulsed mode are available
- Lightweight (handheld and pen shape available)
- long continuous operation time
- Cost effective solution
Laser Fault Locators provide the capability to trace fiber routes for end-to-end continuity. Locate breaks within the deadzone of an OTDR, bad splices, potential fiber problems caused by imperfections as well as microbends and macrobends. These devices also can be used as fiber identifiers. They can operate on multimode or singlemode fibers independent of the transmission wavelength. Visible beams make results easily noticeable. Laser fault locators are excellent instruments for locating fiber faults and other anomalies where the pulse width of the laser used in OTDRs won't allow measurements to be made. Applications include LAN, WAN, fiber data links, telephone and CATV.
These visual fault finders use the more effective 635 nm wavelength. They comply with the safety requirements for Class 1 or 2 laser devices.
- Pen and Key ring size fiber fault finder
- Singlemode, multimode and plastic fiber applications
- Very simple fibre fiber optic fault finder
- Powerful 635 or 650 nm "ruby red" laser for improved visibility
- 2.5 & 1.25 mm universal connector options
- Pulsed or continuous laser options
Visual Fault Finder is an economical, yet highly effective visual fault location unit. These devices typically couple 800uW of 650nm(or 635nm) Laser light into the fiber core, allowing for instant identification of fiber breaks, micro or tight macrobending, even through tight buffered or unbuffered fiber.
