Fiber To The Desk Takes The Stand
Advanced Fiber Solutions introduces a new line of OTDR's. One of the most compact OTDR's on the
market today. They offer five different OTDR's starting at extremely competitive pricing.  Stop hauling
your OTDR around in a trunk.  Put this OTDR in your pocket.  It does what the giant ones do.
These fiber optic tools are exactly what you need to get the installation done right.  No fancy, expensive, fiber optic connectors, no ovens, no
UV lights here.  If you want expensive fiber optic connectors DO NOT SHOP HERE.  Many of these tools are being used in one of the largest
FTTD installations in the US.  If you would like to read about it go
HERE.  We keep it simple.
Optical Wavelength Laboratories (OWL) designs and manufactures fiber optic testing and communications equipment. They began
their 10 year history with networking, telecommunications, and computing products and services in 1991. This business rapidly grew to
millions of dollars annually. This history also includes the manufacture of optical transceivers for the medical and scientific industry.
These easy-to-use fiber optic talk sets are handy in any optics technician tool kit.  These low cost, high quality, MADE IN THE
UNITED STATES,
fiber Optic Talk Sets, VFL's and Optical Length Testers make troubleshooting fiber optics networks a breeze.  Do
you have any of these tools in your kit or are you using a 2-way radio or cell phone to communicate with your co-worker?

Precision Visual Fault Locators
Precision Fault Locators
PCVFL (Precision Coupled Visual Fault Locator) VFL is a light-weight, hand-held tool used to quickly troubleshoot
faults in the continuity of both single mode and multi-mode fibers, especially at fiber launch points or in OTDR dead
zones.  A high intensity visible red laser beam is precision-coupled into the glass; breaks and micro-bends deflect the
red light into the jacket, producing a red glow at the point of the fault.

Fiber Optics Adapters
The BOLT-NL Optical Length Tester, uses a "looped" method of measuring glass length. This is accomplished by looping
back two fibers at one end of the cable run with a patch cord. The round trip time that the light takes to travel through the
glass is converted to length in kilometers, then divided by two to show the length of the glass itself. There is no need to
measure the length of all the glass; the length measurement can be applied to all fibers in the cable. This method of length
testing provides accurate measurements, and saves time and money.

VOLT - Visual Optical Length Tester
(Click Image to hear
audio message)
Almost all optical network experts own a VFL similar to VOLT but they don't get the extra benefit length testing features!  Unit
functions as any good quality Visual Fault Locator (VFL). However, with the same price range as other VFL's, it has the added
benefit of doubling as a LOOPING length tester!  Many cabling warranties and bids are requiring meter based length tests to prove
length of links.  Unit uses 2 fibers and patch cables to establish a length test accurate to +/- 7 feet!  VOLT's VFL functions up to 5
Kilometers (3.1 Miles). Loop length testing functions up to 1.5 Kilometers.

Fiber Optics Patch Cords
Fiber Optics Tools (FOT)
High Quality Test Leads, Patch Cords & Pigtails
MADE IN USA
We offer the highest quality patchcords/testleads in the industry.  If you are not thoroughly satisfied with our products we provide a
money back guarantee.  We use test leads and patchcords ourselves and we know that they must be of higher quality than the
network cable itself.  
FOT patchcords are manufactured using machine-polished ceramic ferrule connectors.  We do not use
composite ferrules that one often finds in low cost, fiber optics cable assemblies.  
Use the best product and you get the best
results. - Bob Ballard RCDD, Owner
