FAQ
What is a Visual Fault Locator (VFL)?
A VFL is a handheld fiber optic tool that emits red laser light to help detect breaks, bends, or faults in optical fibers.
How far can these VFLs detect faults?
Our VFLs can detect faults up to 30km, depending on the model and fiber conditions.
Do these VFLs work with all types of fiber?
Yes, they work with single-mode and multimode fiber, but detection distance may vary.
Are the batteries included?
No, these VFLs use standard AA batteries, which are not included.
What makes multi-function testers different from standard VFLs?
Multi-function testers combine a VFL with additional features like an optical power meter, RJ45 LAN cable tester, and tone generator, making them more versatile for troubleshooting fiber and copper networks.
