To use a fiber identifier, clamp down onto a fiber. Then, the fiber identifier will induce a safe micro-bend and allow a small amount of light to escape. The unit then uses this light to detect network traffic, test tones, or CW signals and will indicate the direction of the signal. For every customer, this information is invaluable and can help assist the verification process in ensuring a cable is connected and functioning as hoped.

GAOTek has a unique range of affordable, high-performance optical fiber identifiers that are used by technicians across the United States, Canada, and internationally. Every day, our products assist in detecting dark or live fibers and excessive losses without disrupting the network.

Fiber identifiers are ideal for detecting fiber, including bend insensitive SM fibers, bare fibers, ribbon fibers, and up to 3mm jacketed fibers. For a technician, they don’t need to worry about harming the fiber optic cable in any way. It’ll save you time and money, especially in comparison with other fiber optic test equipment available for purchase. Signal traffic is never disrupted, when the fiber identifier is used correctly as all it’s doing is applying a gentle clamp.

To meet the needs of our diverse clientele, GAOTek has several unique optical fiber identifier designs to choose from. For those working on fiber optic networks, use our cutting-edge technology which is versatile enough to detect a variety of issues all the while without disrupting or disconnecting the live fibers. All designs conform to the highest standards and meet international performance expectations.
