CableMaster VFL

Reliable continuity testing and fault location with the CableMaster VFL

The CableMaster VFL is used for continuity testing and fault location on optical fibers and components in the single-mode and multi-mode range. Depending on the application, a range of more than 5 km can be achieved. A universal adapter allows connection of all common 2.5 mm optical connector systems (e.g. SC). A permanently screw-on adapter for 1.25 mm (e.g. LC) is also available. The operating time in flashing mode is approx. 40 hours.

Thanks to its compact and ergonomic design, the visual fault locator is ideal for daily use in all fiber optic applications, e.g. in data centres, outdoor use, industrial environments and laboratories. The CableMaster VFL from Softing IT Networks stands out thanks to several practical features, such as its special roll-proof shape, the captive dust cap and its handy form. The CableMaster VFL is easy to operate with just one hand and is powered by two standard AAA batteries. With the help of the practical strap, the fault detector can be hung up at any time if required.
