The Wilcom family of Optical Fiber Identifiers are rugged, easy-to-use installation and maintenance instruments which identify live fibers by detecting the optical signals being transmitted through them. By utilizing non-destructive macro-bend detection (which does not damage or overstress the fiber), these units eliminate the need to disconnect fiber connectors for traffic verification. When used on jumper cables before they are disconnected insures vital services are not interrupted. The Optical Fiber Identifier detects low frequency test tones at 270 Hz, 1 kHz and 2kHz for locating individual fibers within a cable. When traffic is present, the probe produces an audible tone and clearly indicates direction by illuminating a direction
indicator LED. Wilcom produces Optical Fiber Identifiers for an array of applications such as: basic installation and troubleshooting, display of relative core power, high-power CATV, bend insensitive fibers and an extended range model with multiple capabilities. All Optical Fiber Identifiers include a carrying pouch containing three easy to use field interchangeable adapter heads for: 900 µm buffered fiber, ribbon or 250 µm coated fiber and 3mm jacketed jumpers.
