Provider of fiber optic measurement and test equipment, GAO Fiber Optics has launched the new LP-251 optical fiber identifier.
The new product is used for fiber-optic networks’ restoration, rerouting, installation, and maintenance, while it is also suitable for bare fibers. The optical fiber identifier recognizes an optical fiber by sensing the passing optical signals, to prevent opening a fiber at a splice point, or traffic interruption.
The portable LP-251 detects frequency tones at 2kHz, 1kHz, and 270Hz, while it shows three signal intensity levels. An audible tone is produced, when a destructive detection is noticed on a fiber at the time of testing. The traffic direction can be detected and displayed using LED indicators.
The optical fiber device offers minimized power consumption, easily replaceable adaptors, high effective output, and a low bending loss. The fiber identifier provides reliable, precise, and efficient data acquisition, with no overstress, damage, or disruption to the optical fiber, by using the non-destructive macro bending technology.
