Live Fibre Identifier | 800 to 1700nm, Tone Detect | Optional 10mW VFL

This handheld live fibre identifier uses macro bending to detect light in a fibre without cutting it or interrupting traffic. It shows whether the fibre is live or dark, the signal direction and the relative core power, and identifies 270Hz, 1kHz and 2kHz test tones with an audible warning, over a wavelength response of 800nm to 1700nm. Order it without a VFL, or with a built-in 10mW, 650nm visual fault locator on an FC/PC port. Features and Benefits - Non-destructive macro-bend detection - find the working fibre without breaking the link. - Left and right direction indicators - confirm which way traffic is flowing before you cut or re-route. - 270Hz, 1kHz and 2kHz tone identification with audible warning - match the fibre carrying your test tone. - Relative core power on a red LED segment readout - easy to read in a dim cabinet. - One clamp for 250µm, 900µm, 2.5mm and 3mm fibre - no adaptor changes between sizes. - Low battery indication - warns you before the batteries run flat. - Optional 10mW VFL (650nm ±10nm, FC/PC) - visible red light for fault finding from the same tool. Applications - Identifying live fibres at ODFs, splice closures and patch panels. - Confirming traffic direction before maintenance or re-routing. - Tone tracing fibres during FTTH installs and moves. - Visual fault finding on patch leads and short runs (VFL version). Note: The 2 x AA 1.5V alkaline batteries are removed before shipping, so fit new ones on arrival. On the VFL version, never look into the laser output or a live fibre end.
