Handheld Rechargeable Visual Fault Identifier (VFI/VFL)
Locate Fibre Faults Instantly with Our USB-Chargeable VFI
Ensure network integrity and pinpoint fibre faults quickly with our handheld, USB-rechargeable Visual Fault Identifier (VFI). This indispensable tool emits a bright red laser that highlights breaks, sharp bends, and poor connections in both singlemode and multimode fibre. Simply connect it to any USB port to charge it, giving you a powerful, field-ready troubleshooting solution for Australian NBN and FTTx networks.
Efficiently Locate Hidden Faults
The VFI injects a powerful 650nm red laser light into the fibre. Where the fibre is damaged, the light “leaks” out, allowing you to visually spot the precise location of the defect. This is especially useful for finding issues within patch panels and enclosures, areas where larger test equipment like OTDRs have a “blind spot” or dead zone.
Built Tough and Ready to Charge
We build this pen-style VFI with a robust aluminium alloy body and a stainless steel head. This design protects against dust and minor impacts during field use. Unlike models that rely on disposable batteries, this unit features an integrated lithium or high-capacity rechargeable battery, which you can easily charge via a standard USB port. This ensures the VFI is always ready when you need it.
Versatile for All Fibre Types
The 2.5mm universal connector interface accepts common fibre optic connectors, including SC, ST, and FC. An adapter for 1.25mm LC and MU connectors is often included or available separately. This versatility makes the VFI a must-have tool for any fibre technician working on a wide range of singlemode and multimode installations.
