F6230A Pen-style Visual Fault Locator

F6230A Pen-style Visual Fault Locator

Click for larger image

Product Overview

The Model F6230A Pen-style Visual Fault Locator is a commonly known as a VFL. The new product Model F6230A, is a pencil style VFL that features a universal connector accepting any optical connector style with a 2.5mm ferrule. It operates on a single 1.5V AA alkaline battery keeping the overall size to a minimum while providing long battery life. The VFL output is from a 650nm laser providing visibility to 5 km.

Unlike many VFLs today, the F6230A features a choice of continuous or modulated output and a “low battery” indicator to alert the user when it is time to change batteries. The universal connector eliminates the inconvenience of having to use a patch cable for direct connection to fiber under test if connector styles are dissimilar.

This single basic tool is one that all installers, and maintenance personnel should have in their tool kit. It is the most economical test tool for quickly verifying continuity, checking the validity of patch cables before or after installation, test and find breaks in LANs, verifying short lengths of installed fiber, or looking for cracked fiber in splice cases, bad connectors, tight crimps in fiber cable, backbone breaks or anywhere light continuity needs checking.

Fiber Optic Visual Fault Finder

 

Greenlee Fiber Optic Visual Fault Finder

Click for larger image
 

Product Overview

The 170XL visual fault locator is an indispensable tool for quickly identifying bending losses and breaks in optical fibers. If a fiber is bent too tightly, red laser light will be seen escaping through the cable jacket. Likewise if a fiber is broken, escaping light will be visible where the break is located.  Connectors are easily tested using the 170XL visual fault locator. A fiber broken inside or past the ferrule will cause it to glow. If the whole connector glows, it is a defective connector.  If the end face polish of the connector is bad, light will be reflected internally.

  Product  Features

 


- Continuous Wave Output Mode for Steady Fault Location
- Find Breaks to 3km
- Blinking Output Mode Increases Viewing Contrast
- Easy-to-use Quick Interface fits all 2.5mm Connector Interfaces (FC, SC, ST)
- 1.0mW Output Power
- Ergonomic Rotary Switch Permits Easy One-Handed Operation
- Rugged, Compact and Splash Proof Aluminum Design
- Two AA Batteries Provide 48 hours Continuous Operation
- Nylon Belt Holster Included

F6121A Basic Optical Fiber Identifier

F6121A Basic Optical Fiber Identifier

Click for larger image

Product Overview

The Wilcom Model F6121A Basic Optical Fiber Identifier is a rugged, easy-to-use installation and maintenance instrument which identifies optical fibers by detecting the optical signals being transmitted through a singlemode fiber. By utilizing local detection technology (nondestructive macro-bend detection), the unit eliminates the need to open the fiber at the splice point for identification; eliminating the probability of interrupting service.

The Optical Fiber Identifier detects low frequency tones at 270 Hz, 1000 Hz and 2000 Hz. When traffic is present on the fiber under test, an audible tone can be heard as well as the traffic direction which is indicated by LEDs illuminating on the probe.

During installations, maintenance, rerouting, or restorations it is often necessary to isolate a specific fiber without disrupting service. A light source such as Wilcom's Model FS1316 used in conjunction with the Optical Fiber Identifier can make the job a lot easier.

The Optical Fiber Identifier includes a carrying pouch containing three easy to use field interchangeable adapter heads to accommodate; 900 µm buffered fiber, ribbon or 250µm coated fiber and 3mm jacketed fiber.
