Description
Overview
GAOTek Optical Fiber Detector is an essential device used in fiber optic networks for identifying live optical fibers without disrupting signal transmission. It provides a non-intrusive way to detect the presence of light signals in optical fibers, ensuring accurate identification of traffic direction and modulated tones at different frequencies. The tool is designed for ease of use with features like LED indicators and signal frequency display. Its compact and durable construction makes it suitable for field use in various fiber optic installations, including FTTH (Fiber to the Home) applications. Its reliable performance and efficient signal detection make it an indispensable tool for fiber optic technicians and network maintenance professionals.
Features
- Efficiently identifies signal directions in the fiber optic network.
- Distinguishes between live and dark fibers without interfering with signal transmission.
- Detects tones (270Hz, 1KHz, and 2KHz) with audible warnings for easy identification.
- Shows the relative core power for assessing power levels in the fiber.
- Works with various fiber adaptors, reducing the need for frequent replacements during testing.
- Alerts the user when the battery needs replacement or recharging.
- Includes a Visual Fault Locator (VFL) function for locating fiber faults and breaks visually
