GAO Fiber Optics is providing a new fiber-optic identifier for technicians and engineers to detect live or dark fiber and losses in view of poor connections or misalignment of mechanical splices.
820 Fiber-Optic Identifier
The 820 portable fiber-optic identifier employs a macro bending technology to protect against disruption of network communications caused by cutting or disconnecting an optical fiber cable for testing and identification.
The fiber-optic identifier detects calibrated wavelength signals of 1700, 800 and 1550 nm. It recognizes signal frequencies and identifies pigtails, close packed fibers and bare fibers. The identifier has a transmission direction display and a five-stage signal intensity display. It also has an automatic shutdown function, a low-voltage indication function, a sensitivity of -38 dBm, and two detachable InGaAs detectors.
The device, in addition to having a results comparison function, utilizes a rechargeable Lithium battery that supports operation for a maximum time of 4 h.
