Output power: 5 mW
FLS-190 - High-power visual fault locator (VFL)
Overview
FLS-190 is a pocket-sized, high-power visual fault locator (VFL) that uses a 650 nm red laser to identify faults in optical fibers over distances of up to 12 km. It offers 5 mW output power and flashing or continuous operation modes.
Applications
Break and macrobend location
Fiber identification
Highlights
FLS-190 - High-power visual fault locator (VFL)
The FLS-190 is the easiest way to identify fibers from end to end, and to locate polished connector endfaces. Its red laser shines through most jacketed fibers to help you pinpoint breaks, bends, faulty connectors, splices or other causes of signal loss. With 5 mW of output, the high-power VFL has a reach of up to 12 km (typically, depending on fiber attenuation and on ambient light conditions).
The FLS‑190 pinpoints faults visually by creating a bright red glow at the exact location of the fault on singlemode or multimode fibers. It can also be used to identify the port of a fiber in a patch panel.
Compact design
With a streamlined, pocket-sized pen-style design, the FLS‑190 can easily be carried anywhere. This VFL comes with an anodized aluminium casing. This long-lasting and lightweight device is designed to be part of the essential toolkit for any fiber‑testing field technician.
Long lasting
The FLS-190 high efficiency guarantees prolonged operation with two standard AA alkaline batteries, typically providing 30 hours of uninterrupted operation. It is also compatible with rechargeable batteries, reducing the need for single-use ones.
The FLS-190 offers an affordable solution for locating fibers and faults, making it a valuable—if not essential—tool for each and every fiber technician.
