Product Description
The Visual Fault Locator (VFL) 10mW is a compact fiber optic testing device used to detect breaks, bends, faulty splices, and continuity issues in optical fiber cables. It emits a bright visible red laser light (typically 650 nm) that travels through the fiber, making faults clearly visible even over long distances.
It is widely used in FTTH installation, telecom maintenance, and network troubleshooting for fast and accurate fault identification.
Key Features
• High-power 10mW red laser for long-distance fault detection
• Visible 650nm wavelength for easy fiber fault identification
• Detects breaks, macro-bends, poor splicing, and connector faults
• Compatible with single-mode and multi-mode fiber cables
• Universal connector interface (2.5mm ferrule support)
• Continuous and pulsed mode operation (variant dependent)
• Compact pen-style or handheld design for field use
• Strong laser output with long testing range (up to several km depending on fiber condition)
• Low power consumption with long battery life
• Ideal for fast troubleshooting in FTTH and telecom networks
