Optical Fibre Identifier with VFL

The Optical Fibre Identifier with VFL is a vital tool for optical fibre maintenance, designed for precise, non-destructive fibre identification in a wide range of optical network applications. This advanced device integrates a Visual Fault Locator (VFL), enhancing troubleshooting capabilities by pinpointing faults quickly, ensuring efficient maintenance of optical networks.

Utilizing macro bending technology, the identifier allows for accurate, non-intrusive testing, ensuring safe operation while measuring signal direction and signal power. It helps identify both live and dark fibres, detect signal presence or absence, and accurately determine traffic direction and frequency tones (270Hz, 1KHz, 2KHz). The built-in audible warning system provides ease of use, especially when tracking signals in the field.

The VFL function allows users to locate faults effectively, making it an indispensable tool for technicians, while the low power indication ensures reliable performance over extended periods. The unit is designed to be easy to operate without needing frequent adapter changes, offering hassle-free use in a variety of environments.
