The visible laser
cable fault locator (635nm) allows the operator to find faults
in fiber optic cables, even in the OTDR dead zone, By injecting
a bright red visible light in the fiber, locations of losses
will be visible. A powerful laser is used for this. At this way
breaks, bends, injuries or bad connectors can be detected
visually. This can be done by the cladding of bare fibers and
also through the typical yellow or orange jacket used on most
single fiber cables. Fibers can be traced as far as 4 km using
this instrument. The visual fault locator uses a visible diode
laser in the compact case for pocket size convenience.
Other applications include identifying
connectors in patch panels and fibers during splicing
operations. It is also a useful tool for continuity end-to-end
checks. There is a fixed connector for one standard available,
at this way the light is coupled very accurate. The visual fault
locator has a protective rubber boot.
