TOOLS
LIVE FIBER OPTIC IDENTIFIER
The Live Fiber Optic Identifier is an essential test tool for technicians to detect live traffic, optical power, and transmission direction in single-mode fiber cables without disconnecting or interrupting service. It provides a non-intrusive method of fiber identification, making it indispensable for installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting in fiber optic networks.
Features & Benefits
Non-Intrusive Testing – Detects optical signals without disconnecting fiber or disrupting traffic.
Signal Direction Indication – Identifies transmission direction (TX/RX) for accurate troubleshooting.
Broad Wavelength Range – Supports standard telecom wavelengths (1310 nm, 1490 nm, 1550 nm, and 1625 nm).
Tone Detection – Identifies test tones (270Hz, 1kHz, 2kHz) generated by optical test sources.
Wide Fiber Compatibility – Suitable for 250µm, 900µm, 2mm, and 3mm fiber jackets.
High Sensitivity – Detects both modulated and continuous optical signals at very low power levels.
Easy One-Hand Operation – Lightweight, portable design with ergonomic grip.
Clear Display & Indicators – LED or LCD display shows signal presence, power level, and direction.
Durable & Field-Ready – Rugged housing built to withstand demanding outdoor and telecom environments.
Applications
FTTH and FTTx installations
Telecom and CATV network maintenance
Identifying live fibers during splicing or rerouting
Verifying optical power presence before cutting or disconnecting
Safe and efficient field troubleshooting
