The Model F6240 MT-RJ Visual Fault Locator is commonly known
as a VFL. The Model F6240 is an indispensable tool for finding breaks and tight
bends in optical fibers. It operates on two 1.5V AA alkaline batteries keeping
the overall size to a minimum while providing long battery life. The VFL output
is from a 650nm laser providing visibility to 3 km.
The F6240 incorporates a fixed male MT-RJ duplex receptacle, and independently
launches -4dBm ( 400 MicroW), 650nm visible red laser into channel A or channel B
fibers for quick and convenient continuity testing. Unlike many VFLs today, the
F6240 features a choice of continuous or modulated output, and a "low
battery" indicator to alert the user when it is time to change batteries.
This single basic tool is one that all installers, and maintenance personnel
should have in their tool kit. It is the most economical test tool for quickly
verifying continuity, checking the validity of patch cables before or after
installation, test and find breaks in LANs, verifying short lengths of
installed fiber, or looking for cracked fiber in splice cases, bad connectors,
tight bends in fiber cable, backbone breaks or anywhere light continuity needs
checking.
Features:
Low-Cost and Palm Sized
The F6240 is a low-cost, palm sized basic fiber test tool which is easy to
handle and easy to store.
Multimode Operation
Find breaks, bad splices, tight bends, poor components, and bad
connections.
MT-RJ Optical Output Port
The F6240 features a male MT-RJ duplex connector which enables the testing
of both fibers.
LED Indicators
The F6240 provides LED indicators for active Laser mode ( continuous or
modulated ), and Low Battery.
Pulsed Output Mode
The F6240 provides a pulsed output mode for easy viewing.
650nm Red Laser
The F6240's visible red laser makes fiber breaks and tight bends easily
visible.
