The OFI 200 Optical Fibre Identifier is a low cost, hand-held instrument designed to detect optical signals without disrupting traffic. During maintenance, installations, rerouting or restorations, it’s often necessary to isolate a specific fibre. By simply clamping the OFI 200B onto a fibre, the unit will indicate if there is no signal, a 2 kHz tone, or traffic and show signal direction.
The OFI 200 is available in two models. The OFI 200B is recommended for 250 µm and ribbon "bare" fibre applications. The OFI 200C is recommended for up to 3 mm jacketed fiber. Both models are equipped with a unique two-position head design that can be configured to work with 250 µm, 900 µm, ribbon, or jacketed fibre in seconds, without tools or CAM adjustments.
When testing coated fibres, the slim design of the OFI 200 allows easier access on a splice tray where the amount of work space is limited. The clamping trigger is ergonomically designed to fit the natural motion of the operator’s hand. A high impact moulded plastic case makes the OFI 200 suitable for use outside plant or in the central office. Powered by a single standard 9-Volt alkaline battery, the OFI 200 performs thousands of tests before battery replacement is necessary. |
