Product Description
VFL Fiber Optic Visual Fault Locators OWL
VFL Fiber Optic Visual Fault Locators by OWL are Precision Coupled Visual Fault Finders, Cable Continuity Verification
OWL’s Precision Coupled VFL Fiber Optic Visual Fault Locator, PCVFL, is a light-weight, hand-held tool used to quickly troubleshoot faults in the continuity of both single-mode and multi-mode fibers, especially at fiber launch points or in OTDR dead zones. A high intensity visible red laser beam is precision-coupled into a optical fiber where breaks and micro-bends in the fiber deflect the red light into the fiber jacket, producing a red glow at the point of the fault.
KEY SPECIFICATIONS
- Visual Range up to 5 km (3.1 miles) in both Multi-mode and Single-mode fibers
- Optical Output: 0dBm red laser
- CW Mode – 15 hours use on one 9v battery
- Pulsed Mode – 120 hours use on one 9v battery – Pulsed at 6 Hz w/12.5% duty cycle
- Low battery indicator
- Handheld /Lightweight
Typical battery life in CW mode is 15 hours, and the short 12.5% duty cycle in pulsed mode extends the battery life to 120 hours of continuous use. Unlike standard light pens, the PCVFL precision-coupled visual fault locator (VFL) is optimized for fiber optics. An optical ball lens placed near the laser output focuses the red laser light for optimum coupling into optical fibers (often most pen-style laser pointers do not have this feature), and special electronics prevent the red laser from burnout (a common problem with pen-style red laser pointers), thereby increasing the life of OWL’s PCVFL. The PCVFL ships standard with a 2.5mm universal connector port.
