GAO Fiber Optics Releases 820 Fiber-Optic Identifier

Supplier of fiber optical devices, GAO Fiber Optics has launched a new  fiber-optic identifier for technicians and engineers. The 820 optic identifier aids technicians in identifying live or dark fiber as well as the losses caused by poor connections or misalignment of mechanical splices.

The fiber-optic identifier uses reliable and safe macro bending technology to prevent interruption of network communications that occurs due to cutting of an optical cable for testing and identification. The device detects multiple signal frequencies and identifies pigtails, closely packed fibers and bare fibers. The fiber-optic identifier has a transmission direction display.

The portable optical identifier detects wavelength signals from 800 to 1700 nm as well as calibrated wavelength signals of 1550 nm. The optical device has automatic shutdown and low-voltage indication features and is equipped with a -38 dBm sensitivity, two detachable InGaAs and a five-stage signal intensity display.

In addition, the fiber identifier utilizes a rechargeable Lithium battery that enables continuous operation for a maximum of 4 h and also provides a results comparison function.
