Checking continuity or quickly tracing multimode fibers in networks to insure proper connections is a difficult task in large fiber count systems. AFS Europe makes it quite simple with a low-cost solution! Read more about it in this newsletter!

 

FCT-100 Continuity Tester

 
To function properly, a fiber link must be “continuous”, meaning that it is not broken internally, either in the connector ends or within the fiber cable itself. The continuity tester is used to perform this test. Visual testing yields a simple “no go” test. If the light isn’t visible at the other end of the fiber link, then the fiber or connector is unusable in its present state and requires further testing and repair.

FCT-100 Key Features:
- This bright visible source allows the user to check the continuity of multimode fibers or fiber bundles.
- Quick tracing of fibers on patchpanels.
- It can be used as a continuity checker to determine if jumper cables or a fiber on a reel that already has connectors is in good condition, or if installed fiber has been damaged.
- This continuity tester is perfect for testing and troubleshooting every multimode fiber network.
- This tool efficiently transmits light down fiber, providing easy identification at fiber’s far end.
 

High quality tester!

 
The FCT-100 is an economical and simple fiber continuity tester. By shining the FCT-100 into one end of a fiber link, visible light will be injected into the fiber. If the light is visible at the opposite end, then you will know that the fiber link is continuous.
