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 a optical fiber;
breaks and micro-bends in the fiber deflect the red light into the fiber jacket,
producing a red glow at the point of the fault.

An example of PCVFL being used as a fiber identifier up to 5 kilometers in a singlemode or mutlimode
fiber link.


	Extreme caution must be exercised when operating the PCVFL. Lasers such as the ones in the PCVFL produce intense beams of laser light that are harmful to the eye. Exposure to such energy can cause serious retina damage, and prolonged exposure can cause blindness. TO ENSURE YOUR SAFETY: NEVER LOOK INTO A LIGHT SOURCE OR THE END OF A FIBER THAT MAY BE ENERGIZED BY A SOURCE!
