AFL TELECOMMUNICATIONS/NOYES HILITE VISIBLE FAULT FINDER VFL NEW Features
650 nm Visible Red Laser Source
Compact Size
Universal Connector Interface for Quick Connection
High Power (1 mW)
Description
The HiLite and VFI 2 are compact but powerful visible red laser sources designed to troubleshoot faults on fi ber optic cables. Light generated by these units will escape from sharp bends and breaks in jacketed or bare fi bers, as well as poorly mated connectors. Thus they can identify faults in fi ber optic jumper cables, distribution frames, patch panels, and splice trays. The HiLite and VFI 2 are an excellent compliment to an OTDR because it can locate faults inside the OTDRÂ’s dead-zone. Other applications include
end-to-end continuity checks, identifying connectors in patch panels, and identifying fi bers during splicing operations. The universal connector interface provides fast operation with many connector styles without changing an adapter.
