Using The Visual Fault Locator - Fluke OF-500 OptiFiber User Manual

Using the Visual Fault Locator

The visual fault locator (VFL) is available with OFTM-573x
modules. The VFL helps you quickly check fiber continuity,
trace fibers, and locate faults along fibers and in connectors.
Figure 36 shows the equipment required for using the VFL.
The visual fault locator port accepts connectors with
2.5 mm ferrules (SC, ST, or FC). To connect to other ferrule
sizes, use a patch cord with the appropriate connector at one
end and a SC, ST, or FC connector at the tester end.
