Visual Fault Locators
Optical Fiber Damage/Break Locator
Whether installing or troubleshooting, the Visual Fault Locator
(VFL) is an essential tool that quickly and easily locates
problem areas in fiber cables. By pinpointing the exact location
of fiber damage, technicians can diagnose, troubleshoot, and
fix the problem efficiently. The VFL is also used for conducting
continuity tests and performing fiber identification.

VIAVI Solutions offers two unique versions of the
VFL that are economically priced and ergonomically
designed for comfortable handling and portability.
Both versions are equipped with a . mm interface
and are compatible with connectors such as SC, ST,
and FC, while the included . mm adapter enables
connection to LC and MU connectors. The VFL emits
a visible red light, making the light escaping from
the damaged fiber easily visible from a distance. The
Continuous/Flash control button lets operators choose
between continuous or flashing illumination.
