Request InfoScitec Instruments Ltd.• 650-nm visible red light • operates inside OTDR dead zone • >100-h battery life The VFL-280 visual fault locator from Terahertz Technologies Inc. is newly available through Scitec Instruments Ltd. The instrument helps operators detect breaks and microbends in optical fibres, trace particular fibres within bundles and find leaky splices and connectors. It is suitable for both single- and multimode fibres. The rugged hand-held instrument produces visible red light at 650 ±5 nm, which transmits along the fibre and highlights any fault.
