Optical Fibre Visual Fault Locator Apr 7, 2008

Scitec Instruments introduces a Visual Fault Locator for detecting breaks in optical fibres

Scitec Instruments has introduced a new Visual Fault Locator for visually identifying breaks or microbends in optical fibres. The instrument can also be used for fibre identification in an optical fibre bundle.

Usable range depends on the fibre, intended use, such as fault finding or fibre identification, fibre type, jacketing of the cable and the loss incurred at the fault. Several hundred meters up to 1 or 2 Km is typical for singlemode fibre fault location. Fibre identification can be made at greater distances.
