2. Overview

2.1 Introduction

The Basic Live Traffic Identifier is an inexpensive, portable instrument designed to
identify optical test tones and live traffic without disconnecting a live system.
Simply clamp the FOLTIB onto a fiber and the instrument will indicate if there is a
signal or traffic and show the signal direction. It can detect a variety of optical
tones: 270 Hz, 1 kHz, and 2 kHz.
Use the FOLTIB with both 0.25-/0.09-mm bare fiber and 3-mm jacketed fiber.
When testing jacketed fibers, the slim design of the FOLTIB allows easier access to
a splice tray where the amount of workspace is limited. The clamping trigger fits
the natural motion of the operator's hand. The instrument is ruggedly constructed
and reliable.
