What is Optical Fiber Identifier ?

Optical fiber identifiers are designed to non-invasively identify continuous-wave signals in fiber optic cables. They are low cost, hand-held tools that identify signals in single-mode fiber without interrupting service or damaging the fiber. Optical fiber identifiers eliminate the need to open the fiber at the splice point for identification, eliminating the probability of interrupting service.

An Optical Fiber Identifier can be used to detect the existence of a signal on optical fibers. OFIs are attached to a fiber, where they create a safe macro-bend and enable a minor quantity of light to getaway. Units utilize this light to identify the existence of a busy network, test tones or CW signals, and specify the direction of the signal.

Types of Optical Fiber Identifiers

• Single Mode

Main Function:

Main Function Optical cable search and identification are key steps in the preparatory work for the construction, installation and maintenance of optical cable lines. Therefore, the optical cable survey instrument is widely used in the construction, cutover, maintenance and resource survey of optical cable lines. When using the fiber optic cable survey instrument, engineers only need to connect the meter at the office end and tap the fiber optic cable at the remote end. The meter can convert the tapping information into audio and video signals, and can easily identify the target fiber optic cable they need to find.

Additional Features ;

Additional features for optical fiber identifiers include an indication light activated by signal transmission, low-battery indicators, a self-testing option, a fiber optic probe, a carrying case, and interchangeable heads. The interchangeable heads for optical fiber indentifiers can be fitted for jacketed fibers, coated fibers, or ribbon fibers. Although most optical fiber identifiers are battery-operated, some products can be powered by external battery packs or electrical currents.

Cost

The most important factor at play would be cost. You will need to balance which features you want and are most important to you with which features you are willing to sacrifice. Finding an Optical Fiber Identifier that fits your needs may be difficult, but Splicer Market offers many different Fiber Optic Identifiers for any budget.
