The VF 610 is a high output visible laser designed to locate and identify faults in fiber optic cables, jumpers, patch panels, and other cable splice areas. The visual fault locator may be used within the OTDR “dead zone” to identify breaks and faults in the fiber. The VF610 allows for fiber continuity on multimode or singlemode fiber up to distances of 5 km.

This compact instrument includes a 2Hz modulation feature to enhance the identification of problem areas. A 3V CR2 lithium battery providing over 1000 operations provides power to the unit. A rugged 2.5mm universal adapter interface allows the unit to mate to standard 2.5mm ferrules (SC, ST, FC connectors) and an additional accessory modifies the interface to accept 1.25mm ferrules.

The LFI 110 Live Fiber Identifier Accessory is a rugged accessory tool that is designed to fit onto the RP 4XX series optical power meters. This useful device allows the detection of active channels or 2kHz tones on any singlemode network. The LFI 110 is designed to accommodate 900 micron, 2mm or 3mm jacketed fibers. The accessory simply snaps on to any RP 4XX unit, increasing the functionality of the power meter to include live fiber identification.

Measurements displayed on the RP 4XX power meter will have direct correlation to the actual core power with measurement repeatability of +/-2dB. No longer is it necessary to purchase a stand-alone fiber identifier for active channel identification.The LFI 110 allows the technician to identify available fibers in the F2 portion of the FTTx network without the disruption of existing subscribers. The LFI/RP 4XX combination also allows tone detection when used with compatible ODM laser sources.

Easily Integrates with RP 450 or RP 460 Optical Power Meters & Detects Modulated Tone From Miller Light Sources
Accommodates 900 µm Bare Fiber to 3 mm Jacketed Fiber
Provides In-Service Testing on Single Mode Networks
Eliminates Placing the Active Channel in an Alarm Condition

TTK 210

The TTK 210 Live Fiber Trace and Tone kit provides all of the necessary tools to allow the technician to identify available fibers in the F2 portion of the FTTx network. This trace technique provides identification without the disruption of existing subscribers for purposes of re-route or cutover.

To trace a specific fiber for cutover simply place a compatible light source into its 2kHz modulation mode and plug it on to the fiber. At the distribution hub place the LFI 110 onto the RP 450. Place the fiber under test into the LFI slot and depress the trigger to look for an active channel or the fiber with 2kHz designated for cutover. When the correct fiber is traced the RP 450 will provide an audible tone identifying the fiber for cutover. The LFI 110 is designed to place a controlled loss onto the fiber to prevent an alarm condition on an active channel.

The TTK 210 Trace and Tone test kit comes supplied in a field rugged hard carry case and includes a SC to SC patch cord.
