FFL Visual Fault Locators
Product information "FFL Visual Fault Locators"
Class II Laser Source; 650 nm; Max. Output Power 1.0 mW; Fiber Type Single Mode, Multi Mode; Source Modes CW, Flashing
Whether installing or troubleshooting, Viavi Solutions’ VFL series of visual fault locators is an essential tool that quickly and easily locates problem areas in fiber cables. The VFL series emits a bright red laser beam (Class II), making the light escaping from the damaged fiber easily visible from a distance.
By pinpointing the exact location of fiber damage, technicians can diagnose, troubleshoot, and fix the problem efficiently. The VFL series is also used for conducting continuity tests and performing fiber identification. The Continuous/Flash control button lets operators choose between continuous or flashing illumination. With FFL-050 (Pocket-sized) and FFL-100 (Ruggedized), two unique VFL versions are economically priced and ergonomically designed for comfortable handling and portability. Both versions are equipped with a 2.5 mm interface and are compatible with connectors such as SC, ST, and FC, while the 1.25 mm adapter enables connection to LC and MU connectors.
The small and lightweight FFL-050 features compact size for portability, uses two AAA batteries (included) with 30+ hours continuous power and can be equipped with an universal 1.25 mm adapter (sold separately). Its FFL-100 counterpart features a rugged, shock-absorbing construction, uses two AA batteries (included) with 80+ hours continuous power, and here the 1.25 mm adapter is included.
