Connected Fibers Visual Fault Locators

Visual fault locators can help you find broken fibers or splices, and over bending of routed cables.

Connected Fibers stocks 1.25mm and 2.50mm visual fault locators. Simply plug in your connector and a bright red laser will be emitted from any broken fiber or splice or even through the jacket of a cable that may be installed with an over bending situation. Every fiber optic technician should have this tool in their kit for the field or in the lab.

OptoTest OP280 MT and Ribbon Visual Fault Locators

The OP280 is designed to verify wiring of ribbon fiber connectors, hybrid cables and distribution boxes quickly and conveniently. Each of the twelve fibers is illuminated with super bright red lasers.

This Ribbon Visual Fault Finder can be used for singlemode or multimode application and is pre-programmed with various sequences for automatic or individual scanning of each fiber. User defined patterns can be programmed via the USB data port which also can be used to charge the internal battery. For fast charge a standard 5VDC power supply is available.
