What is the KELUSHI Fiber Optic Cable Tester?

The KELUSHI Fiber Optic Cable Tester is a compact visual fault locator (VFL) designed to help identify breaks, bends, and other faults in single-mode fiber optic cables.

It emits a bright red light with selectable power outputs of 5mW, 15mW, 20mW, or 30mW, allowing for effective fault detection over various distances.

This device features a hybrid connector type for versatile use and includes a built-in LED light for improved visibility in low-light conditions, making cable troubleshooting more efficient.

Key Features and Specifications

This VFL is specifically designed for single-mode fiber optic applications.

It supports hybrid connector types, ensuring compatibility with a range of fiber optic equipment. The selectable power outputs (5mW, 15mW, 20mW, 30mW) provide flexibility for different testing scenarios.

The integrated LED light is a practical addition for working in dimly lit environments, aiding in precise fault identification.

How does the VFL help find cable faults?

The visual fault locator works by injecting a bright red light into the fiber optic cable.

When the light encounters a break, bend, or poor connection, it escapes the fiber cladding, becoming visible as a bright spot or glow at the fault location.

The higher power options (20mW, 30mW) are suitable for longer cable runs or more challenging fault detection scenarios.

Specifications:

• Model Number: VFL
• Fiber Type: Single Mode
• Connector Type: Hybrid

Frequently Asked Questions:

What type of fiber optic cables can this tester be used with?

This KELUSHI VFL is designed for single-mode fiber optic cables. It is not intended for use with multi-mode fibers.

What are the available power output options for the red light source?

The tester offers selectable red light source power outputs of 5mW, 15mW, 20mW, and 30mW. Higher power is useful for longer distances or detecting subtle faults.

What is the purpose of the LED light on the device?

The integrated LED light provides illumination for the work area. This is particularly helpful when troubleshooting fiber optic cables in dimly lit environments.

What does 'Visual Fault Locator' mean for this device?

A Visual Fault Locator (VFL) injects light into the fiber; breaks or severe bends cause the light to escape, making the fault visible as a bright spot.
