1 Introducing the LFD-200 Live Fiber Detector Main Features The LFD-200 Live Fiber Detector detects traffic and measures optical signals transmitted through singlemode and multimode fibers without having to disconnect them. The Live Fiber Detector uses a safe macrobending technique that does not disrupt traffic (that is, it eliminates the need to identify a fiber by opening it at the splice point).
