MT Tracer (12-Fiber VFI and Display)

The MT Tracer is a compact multi-ﬁber visual fault identiﬁer (red laser source) supporting 8

or 12 ﬁber MTP® connections. The user simply connects the 12-ﬁber cable directly to the

unit. Fibers can be tested individually or all at once. By progressing sequentially through

the ﬁbers, cables can be quickly checked for polarity by verifying the proper order at the

output. The MT Tracer Display is a passive optical device designed to receive the light from

the MT Tracer Source and provide an eye-safe method of viewing the red light. Identiﬁca-

tion is accomplished by expanding the output of the MT ferrule to a large easy to read

panel - large enough to be read from several feet away.

HiLite & VFI2

The HiLite and VFI 2 are compact but powerful visible red laser sources designed to

troubleshoot faults on ﬁber optic cables. Light generated by these units will escape from

sharp bends and breaks in jacketed or bare ﬁbers, as well as poorly mated connectors.

They can identify faults in ﬁber optic jumper cables, distribution frames, patch panels,

and splice trays. The HiLite and VFI 2 are an excellent complement to an OTDR because

they can locate faults inside the OTDR’s dead-zone. Other applications include end-to-end

continuity checks, identifying connectors in patch panels and ﬁbers during splicing opera-

tions. The universal connector interface provides fast operation with many connector styles

without changing an adapter.
