JDSU’s new pocket-sized visual fault locators |
|
|
 Comtest is pleased to introduce JDSU’s pocket-sized FFL-050 and the ruggedized FFL-100 Visual Fault Locators (VFL) for installing and troubleshooting fiber optic cable.
The JDSU VFL is an essential tool that quickly and easily locates problems in fiber cables, such as sharp bends, breaks, bad splices, lack of continuity, and damages in fiber. The VFL emits a visible laser light into the fiber, and as the light escapes from the damaged points along the fiber in a continuous or flashing illumination, technicians are able to easily locate and quickly assess the damage. By pinpointing the exact locations of fiber damage, technicians can diagnose, troubleshoot, and fix a problem quickly and efficiently, resulting in fewer return truck rolls.
The FFL-050 and the FFL-100 VFL are both equipped with a 2.5mm interface, compatible with connectors such as SC, ST, and FC, while the 1.25mm adapter enables connection to LC and MU connectors. The VFLs can also be used to perform end-to-end continuity tests and fiber tracing and identification
