Fiber Testing Equipment

Fiber launch cables, pulse suppressors and dead zone eliminators all serve an essential purpose for providing accurate OTDR traces and bi-directional analysis.

Keeping up with the accelerated pace in fiber deployment means that frontline technicians need more than just an improvement on existing tools—they need groundbreaking new ones. Enter the optical fiber multimeter. Invented by EXFO, it’s a new category of specialized, essential tools that empower frontline technicians to do more. And it’s the kind of innovation that only EXFO, backed by unmatched fiber optic testing expertise, can deliver.

Test kits with combined Power Meters, Inspection Probes/Scopes, Visual Fault Locators and more provide exceptional value and convenience for equipping fiber technicians in the field. If you're gearing up for the next project, check here first to find these time-saving kits.

For Tier I testing, you can find Optical Light Sources (OLS), Optical Power Meters (OPM) and combined Opitcal Loss Test Sets (OLTS) here. From advanced capability to pocket sized versions, we have a range available to satisfy the needs of any fiber technician.

A handy and inexpensive device for fiber technicians, Visual Fault Locators (VFL) are essential tools. There are several uses for them including highlighting macrobends, optimizing mechanical splices, detecting defective connectors, end-to-end verification, breaks in launch cables and more.

If you need to test a bare fiber, splicing a pigtail or placing a connector is not the most time or cost effective means of conducting a test. Bare fiber and mating adapters make testing bare or dissimilar fiber ferrules quick and easy. Bare fiber adapters use an index matching gel, the same as you find in mechanical fiber connectors, to mate the bare fiber to a factory polished endface.

A crucial device for every fiber technician, Fiber Identifiers will tell you whether there is traffic on any given fiber with a 3mm jacket or smaller coating. Before work is to be done on a given fiber, these fiber detectors let the technician know if there is traffic on that fiber, and what direction it is traveling. Other fiber identifiers may have advanced features to show optical power and additional information.
