Description
Overview
GAOTek Live Fiber Identifiers are simple, rugged, easy-to-use test instruments that detect the presence of signals on optical fiber. OFIs are clamped onto a fiber where they induce a safe macro-bend in the fiber which allows a small amount of light to escape. By collecting and analyzing the light, the presence of network traffic, test tones and CW signals is detected, and the direction of signal flow is determined.
Â
Features
- Detect optical signals non-disruptively; non-destructive technology used
- Indicate the signal direction in fiber
- Detect a variety of optical tones, 270 Hz, 1 kHz and 2 kHz
- Suitable for 0.03 in, 0.009 in, 0.11 in (0.25 mm, 0.9 mm, 3.0 mm) fiber
- There is no need to replace the clamp block
- Build in visible fault locator 1mW or 10 mW optional
- Battery low indication
- Powered by 2 units of 1.5 V AA alkaline Batteries.
