Acterna OVF-1
"Pen size" Visible Fault Locator

The OVF-1 is speciall designed for field personnel who need an efficient and economical tool for fiber tracing, fiber routing and continuity checking in an optical network during and after installation. Fiber breaks, microbends and poor optical splices are clearly visible as light glows through the fiber buffer or outer jacket. Fault location behind optical connectors where the use of OTDR's is limited due to dead zones is now possible with the OVF-1.

The blink modes improves visability for use in bright ambient light. The highly efficient laser diode operates at a short wavelength of 635nm to ensure that the emitted light is clearly visible to the human eye. Fiber tracing is possible over more than 5km for single-mode fibers. With the new universal push-pull (UPP) adapter, matching all standard 2.5mm optical connector types is possible. The connector is held without additional mechanical fixing.
