HiLite and VFI2 Visual Fault Identifiers
The HiLite and VFI 2 are compact but powerful visible red laser sources designed to
troubleshoot faults on fiber optic cables. Light generated by these units will escape from
sharp bends and breaks in jacketed or bare fibers, as well as poorly mated connectors.
They can identify faults in fiber optic jumper cables, distribution frames, patch panels, and
splice trays.
The HiLite and VFI 2 are an excellent complement to an OTDR because they can locate
faults inside the OTDR's dead-zone. Other applications include end-to-end continuity
checks, identifying connectors in patch panels and fibers during splicing operations. The
universal connector interface provides fast operation with many connector styles without
VFI 2
changing an adapter.
