GAO Tek Introduces Upgraded Optical Fiber Identifier
February 26, 2010 - GAO Tek Inc. has added an upgraded optical fiber identifier to its product line.
The optical fiber identifier uses safe and reliable macro bending technology to avoid the disruption of network communications that would result from disconnecting or cutting a fiber optic cable for identification and testing. This technologically advanced optical fiber identifier is intended for engineers and technicians to identify dark or live fiber and excessive losses due to the misalignment of mechanical splices or poor connections. It also displays transmission direction, identifies multiple signal frequencies and detects bare fibers, close packed fibers and pigtails.
GAO Tek Inc.'s portable optical fiber identifier, model 820, identifies 1550nm calibrated wavelength signals and is available for wavelengths from 800nm to 1700nm. It also identifies multiple signal frequencies including 270kHz, 1kHz and 2kHz. Normal communications can be maintained while the device identifies the transmission direction, speed and relative signal strength with only a very small signal loss,.The optical fiber identifier features a five-stage display of signal intensity, two detachable InGaAs detectors, a high sensitivity of -38dBm, a low-voltage indication function and an automatic shutdown function. Furthermore, it offers a results comparison function. It has a rechargeable Lithium battery which supports continuous operation for up to four hours.
