Overview
Optical fiber visual fault locator can be used for locating various discontinuities in optical fibers, such as sharp bends, breaks, poor connector alignment, etc. and for fiber splicing and termination using light with wavelength in the visible spectrum.
Recommended as a light source in termination procedures of Signamax Field-Installable Pre-Polished Optical Fiber Connectors.
