Black Box Live Traffic Identifier for Fiber - Live fiber identifier with integrated optical power meter
- Identify live fibers and avoid unnecessary service disruptions
- Eliminate the need to open the fiber at the splice point causing service interruption
- Identify fibers by detecting the signals being transmitted
- The local detection technology, non-destructive macro-bend detection, doesn't damage or overstress the fiber
Identify live fibers and avoid unnecessary service disruptions. When traffic is present on the fiber an audible tone sounds. Detects low-frequency tones at 270 Hz 1 kHz and 2 kHz. Traffic direction is also indicated by LEDs on the probe. A range of 850 to 1700 nm enables use on single-mode and multimode fiber. Use with 900-um buffered fiber 250-um coated or ribbon fiber and 3-mm jacketed fiber. Three adapters are included. Ideal for troubleshooting maintenance and rerouting fiber cable without disrupting service. Displays the Relative Core Power to help identify bad connectors and splice points. Features a lightweight but rugged metal housing. Easy-to-use hands-free operation. It can be used with a light source. Repair a fiber cable on an active network with the Black Box(r) Live Traffic Identifier for Fiber. It's the technician's must-have instrument for isolating a fiber that's not transmitting properly because of bends breaks bad connectors and more. Instead of opening the fiber at the splice point and causing service interruptions all you need to do is clamp the Live Traffic Identifier on the fiber. It works by detecting the optical signals being transmitted through the fiber. By using a non-destructive macro-bend detection technology it doesn't damage or overstress the fiber. The identifier detects low-frequency tones at 270 Hz 1 kHz and 2 kHz. When it detects traffic on the fiber being tested it sounds an audible alarm. In addition an LED indicates the traffic direction. Because the Identifier uses InGaAs detectors you can use it on single-mode and multimode cable with wavelengths ranging from 850 to 1700 nm.

The fiber optic power meter
The fiber optic power meter is calibrated at four wavelengths. It measures power levels as high as +20 dBm and as low as -60 dBm. It features a true resolution of 0.01 dBm at all power levels so you can trust measurements below -45 dBm. In relative measurement mode, the meter stores the zero reference reading for all four wavelengths independently in nonvolatile memory. This enables you to turn off the meter to save battery life as you move between testing locations. The meter also displays a 1-dB analog-type deviation pointer and an unaveraged mini display for real-time splice tuning. You can upload readings to a PC for printing and analysis.

LED source
The LED source supplies the temperature-stabilized light output the fiber optic power meter requires.

Power possibilities
The meter is powered with either four alkaline batteries or an AC wall pack containing four nickel-cadmium batteries. The nickel-cadmium batteries provide a full day's charge up to several hours. And if you're in a hurry to charge them, an emergency quick-charge mode enables you to charge in one hour. The LED source uses a 9-volt alkaline battery.

Stand up to field conditions
You don't have to baby these devices. Both feature internal circuitry housed in a high-strength aluminum-extrusion case with high-impact rubber bumpers. They shrug off being bumped or dropped, making this kit a sturdy companion for field use. The fiber optic power meter and LED source kit have a waterproof carrying case, which protects the devices from moisture - even if they're submerged in several feet of water.
