AFL OFI400C - Optical Fiber Identifier for 2mm and 3mm Jacketed Fiber

• Optical fiber identifier for 2mm and 3mm jacketed fiber
• Ideal for general purpose maintenance, configuration, and installation tasks
• Functionally equivalent to the OFI-400 model, but includes an optical head design and a calibration scheme optimized for use with jacketed fibers

The AFL OFI-400 series are rugged, hand-held and easy-to-use fiber optic test instruments designed to detect and measure core power levels of optical signals on single-mode optical fiber without disrupting traffic on that fiber. The OFI-400 simply clamps onto a fiber and indicates the presence and direction of traffic, CW signals and 270, 330, 1000 and 2000 Hz test tones. It allows technical personnel to unambiguously identify a specific fiber and eliminates the risk of accidental disruption of revenue service. AFL OLS7, OLS2, CSS1-SM and Optical Light Sources are ideal companions for the OFI-400.

No adapters to purchase, store or misplace

The OFI-400 uses a unique optical head design featuring a 2-position plunger that enables it to be used with 250µm, 900µm and ribbon fiber or 2mm and 3mm jacketed fiber. Other brands of optical fiber identifiers require users to purchase, store and swap out optical plungers each time a different type of fiber is tested.

The OFI-400 optical head induces a safe, repeatable macro-bend to the fiber that allows a small amount of light to escape for analysis. Thanks to the design of the optical head, the insertion loss induced by the macro-bend is too small to affect the signal on the fiber and the integrity of the fiber is unaffected by the measurement process.

AFL OFI-400 instruments are designed to be simple, easy-to-use and reliable. Each features an ergonomically-designed macro-bend trigger that is comfortable to use. An integrated, backlit display allows the OFI-400 to be used in dimly lit spaces. Powered by 2 AAA batteries, the OFI-400 can make thousands of fiber tests before needing battery replacement.

Several package available

OFI-400

The OFI-400 is designed for use with a wide range of single-mode fibers including 250 μm (bare) coated, 900 μm buffered and ribbon fibers or 2 mm and 3 mm jacketed fibers. The OFI-400 is ideal for network personnel involved in installation, reconfiguration, restoration and maintenance tasks that involve bare, buffered, jacketed or ribbon fibers in outside plant pedestals, fiber cabinets, aerial enclosures and inside plant premises demarcation cabinets. The slim design of the OFI-400 head facilitates access in crowded splice trays.

OFI-400C

Designed specifically for use with 2 mm or 3 mm jacketed single-mode fibers, the OFI-400C is ideal for general purpose maintenance, configuration and installation tasks. The OFI-400C is functionally equivalent to the OFI-400 but includes an optical head design and a calibration scheme optimized for use with jacketed fiber.

OFI-400HP

The OFI-400HP is designed for use where high levels of optical power are present. This includes fibers carrying a single high-power signal, CWDM or DWDM signals with high total power levels, amplified optical signals, or pump lasers associated with EDFA or Raman amplifiers.

When display reaches +23 dBm (200 mW) or greater, the OFI-400HP will display "High" warning indication.
