Description
The FLS-240 Pocket Pal Visual Fault Locator is a straightforward solution for identifying breaks, bends, faulty connectors or splices, as well as other causes of signal loss. It can detect faults over distances of up to 5 km. The FLS-240 visually locates faults by creating a bright red glow at the exact location of the fault on singlemode or multimode fibers.
Robust design
To ensure ruggedness, the Pocket Pal features rubber seals, a fully enclosed laser head and a long-lasting On/Off switch. It has been tested to provide reliable operation under intensive use and harsh conditions.
