Overview
The Divot DVT-S3 is a precision bare fiber adapter and tester designed for rapid connectivity to unterminated single mode fiber. It serves as an essential tool for network engineers and technicians performing temporary testing or servicing on fiber lines without the need for permanent splicing or connectorization.
The device features a universal LiteLOCK interface and integrates an optical coupling compound (OCC) cartridge, which eliminates the need for manual gel application. The system is designed to provide stable performance with minimal signal loss and is built for repeated use in demanding field environments.
