Description
Overview
GAOTek pen type visual fault locator is specially designed for field personnel who need an efficient and economical tool for Fiber tracing, Fiber routing and continuity checking in an optical network during and after installation. It’s including Finding the breakpoint, poor connections, bending or cracking in Fiber optic cables. Finding the faults of OTDR. Visual fault locator (also called laser fault locator or 650 nm fault locator) is a handheld device using 650 nm or 635 nm visible laser source that emits a bright beam of laser light into a Fiber, allowing the user to visually detect a Fiber fault for up to 3.11 mi (5 km). With these fault locators you can easily isolate high losses and faults in optical Fiber cables. The bright beam of 650 nm or 635 nm red light in a Fiber allows you to see a break as a glowing or blinking red light. Laser Fault Locators provide the capability to trace Fiber routes for end-to-end continuity. Locate breaks within the dead zone of an OTDR, bad splices, potential Fiber problems caused by imperfections as well as micro bends and macro bends. These devices also can be used as Fiber identifiers. They can operate on multimode or single mode Fibers independent of the transmission wavelength. Visible beams make results easily noticeable. Laser fault locators are excellent instruments for locating Fiber faults and other anomalies where the pulse width of the laser used in OTDRs won’t allow measurements to be made. Applications include LAN, WAN, Fiber data links, telephone and CATV.
