• CW and blink modes
• Long battery life (>40 hours)
Fault location in fiber optics networks
The OVF-1 is specially designed for field personnel who need an efficient and economi-
cal tool for fiber tracing, fiber routing and continuity checking in an optical network
during and after installation.
Fiber breaks, microbends, and poor optical splices are clearly visible as light glows
through the fiber buffer or outer jacket.
Fault location behind optical connectors where the use of OTDRs is limited due to dead
zones is now possible with the OVF-1.
The blink mode improves visibility for use in bright ambient light. The highly efficient
laser diode operates at short wavelengths of 635 nm to ensure that the emitted light is
clearly visible to the human eye. Fibre tracing is possible over more than 5 km for single-
mode fibers.
With the new universal push-pull (UPP) adapter, matching of all standard 2.5 mm optical
connector types is possible. The connector is held without additional mechanical fixing.
An additional external adapter converts from 2.5 mm UPP to .125 mm UPP. This adapter
allows to connect the OVF-1 to optical connectors with 1.25 mm ferrule e.g. LC, MU or
F3000.
The OVF-1 comes in a rugged metal housing. With its compact, lightweight design, it fits
easily in a vest pocket.
