Fiber Optic Test and measurement Visual Fault Identifier VFL Used in Fiber Optic Cable Testing

Fiber Optic Test Equipment Visual Fault Identifier VFL Used in Fiber Optic Cable Testing

General information

The Visual Fault Locator launches 650nm visible laser light into the fiber.
 

The visual fault locator devices allow tracing and testing fibers for continuity or proper connections and one even is used to optimize splices or pre polished/splice connectors.

Many of the problems in connection of fiber optic networks are related to making proper connections. Since the light used in systems is invisible infrared light (IR) beyond the range of the human eye, one cannot see the system transmitter light. By injecting the light from a visible source, such as a LED, laser or incandescent bulb, one can visually trace the fiber from transmitter to receiver to ensure correct orientation and check continuity besides. The simple instruments that inject visible light are called fiber tracers or visual fault locators.
