New design and features improves ease of working with fibre

Fujikura Europe Ltd is to launch two new highly advanced and feature rich Optical Fibre Identifiers at ECOC in Vienna later this month (stand 417).

The FID-25R and FID-26R are thought to be the most highly developed Optical Fibre Identifiers yet to be offered to the market. Their high-sensitivity allows signal identification using G.657 Bend-Insensitive Fibres and they can isolate a weak tone signal under a strong traffic signal.

“The new identifiers represent an important new offering from Fujikura and we are expecting a lot of interest at ECOC,” said Fujikura Europe’s Sales and Marketing Manager Brian Leonard.

Other features of the new products include:-
• Single detector head for 0.25mm to 3.0mm coated fibres
• Optical power meter range of  +10 to -60dBm featured on FID-25R
• 15 user-selectable test modes for a variety of field applications
• New fibre clamping head design, requiring very short excess testing length of the optical fibre

The FID-25R and FID-26R have been designed to give easy access to the target fibre in confined spaces and offer simple and automatic operation, achievable by just clamping the fibre. The design has also focused on making the LCD screen and LED illuminations easy to read in all conditions, from dimly lit interiors to bright sunlight.
