Trend have launched a simple Visual Fault Locator, a product which will simplify the tasks of optical technicians everywhere.

The Visual Fault Locator is used to locate the faults in single-mode and multi-mode fibres. Using the light in the visible spectrum to reveal bad connections, fibre breaks and excessive bending in jacketed or bare fibre. When the Fault Locator is connected to the end of a fibre and the light is switched on, the end of the fibre can easily be identified by the visible red light.

Any light leakage from the fibre, due to breaks, bad connections or bending, are clearly revealed by the escape of light. Modulation (flashing) of the light can be switched on or off to eliminate errors of fibre identification.
