AFL VFI2 - Visual Fault Locator with 1.25 and 2.5mm Universal Connector

Applications include:

• Identify fiber faults inside OTDR dead zone
• Identify sharp bends or breaks in fibers
• Identify poorly mated connectors
• Verify AFL FAST connector installation

Visual fault identifiers are visible red lasers designed to inject light energy into a fiber. Sharp bends, breaks, faulty connectors and other faults will "leak" red light generated by a VFI, allowing technicians to visually spot the defects.

The AFL brand VFI models deliver 1 mW of output power into single-mode fiber to ensure long range and exceptional brightness for locating defects in single-mode or multimode fibers.

A VFI is a useful addition to any fiber optic field tool kit. It can locate faults inside an OTDR's dead zone, perform quick continuity checks, trace fibers, check splices and field installed connectors.

The AFL visual fault identifier (VFI) is offered in two models:

• HI LITE - miniature key-chain mountable VFI (key chain included)
• VFI2 - hand-held VFI with rugged protective boot offering longer battery runtime

VFIs are important troubleshooting tools for fiber optic networks. AFL's solutions meet every need. The small HiLite is easy to carry anywhere - always available when you need it. The addition of the protective boot on the VFI2 provides an extremely robust field tool that can handle the rigors of any field test environment.

Universal Connector Interface

VFI units use a threaded connector adapter interface to support tool-free adapter removal for connector cleaning and field changing of adapter styles. Universal connector adapters offer quick connection and test to single ferrule connectors such as FC, SC, ST, LC, MU, and more.

• 2.5 mm adapter accepts PC and angled connectors FC, SC, ST, etc.
• 1.25 mm adapter accepts LC and MU connectors
