AFL NOYES OFI200D Optical Fiber Identifier
The AFL Noyes OFI 200D Optical Fiber Identifier is a low-cost, high-tech approach to non-invasive fiber optic signal detection. Using a low insertion loss, macro-detection technique, it discriminates signals without disrupting service or overstressing fiber.
By simply clamping an Optical Fiber Identifier onto a gently bent fiber, the unit will indicate if there is [No Signal], [Tone], or [Traffic] and identify signal direction. This is all done with no head swapping or adjustments for different types of fiber, 250µm, 900µm, 3mm jacketed cable and ribbon fiber.
Rugged, hand-held, and easy-to-use fiber optic test instrument designed to detect optical signals transmitted through a single-mode fiber without disrupting traffic on that fiber. During installation, maintenance, rerouting, or restoration it is often necessary to isolate a specific fiber.
By simply clamping an Optical Fiber Identifier onto a fiber, the unit will indicate if there is NO SIGNAL, TONE, or TRAFFIC and the associated signal direction. It allows technical personnel to unambiguously identify a specific fiber and eliminates the risk of accidental disruption of revenue service.
The OFI-200 is equipped with a unique two-position head design that can be configured, without tools or recalibration, to work with 250 µm, 900 µm, ribbon, or jacketed fiber. The slim design of the head is particularly valuable when working in splice trays, cabinets, and pedestals where workspace is limited.
No adapters to purchase, store, swap, or misplace: The OFI-200 uses a unique optical head design featuring a two-position plunger that enables it to be used with 250 µm, 900 µm, and ribbon fiber or 2 mm and 3 mm jacketed fiber. Other brands of optical fiber identifiers require users to purchase, store, and change optical plungers each time a different type of fiber is tested.
Low insertion loss for in-service ID tasks: The OFI-200 optical head induces a safe, repeatable macro-bend to the fiber that allows a small amount of light to escape for analysis. The insertion loss induced by the macro-bend is too small to affect the signal on the fiber and the integrity of the fiber is unaffected by the measurement process.
Designed for the real world: The OFI-200 is a simple, easy-to-use tool that features rugged, drop-proof construction perfect for inside or outside plant use. Its ergonomically designed macro-bend trigger is comfortable to use and the integrated, backlit LCD display enables it to be used in dimly lit spaces.
The OFI-200 uses readily available 1.5 V AAA batteries, which power thousands of fiber tests before needing to be replaced.
