Product Description
WILCOM F6121R OPTICAL FIBER IDENTIFIER RIBBON, NEW The Wilcom Model F6121R Ribbon Fiber Identifier is
a lightweight, rugged, easy-to-use installation and maintenance
instrument designed for fast, accurate identification
and traffic testing of optical signals without cutting
the fiber cable or interrupting service. By utilizing local
detection technology (nondestructive macro-bend detection),
this unit is ideal for use during routine maintenance
and line modification, and can be used to locate
a particular fiber line, non-obtrusively identify live fibers,
and determine whether traffic is present.
The Ribbon Fiber Identifier detects low frequency
tones at 270 Hz, 1000 Hz and 2000 Hz. When traffic is
present on the fiber under test, an audible tone can be
heard as well as the traffic direction which is indicated
by LEDs illuminating on the probe.
During installations, maintenance, rerouting, or restorations it is often necessary to isolate a specific fiber without
disrupting service. A light source such as Wilcom's Model FS1316 used in conjunction with the Ribbon Fiber
Identifier can make the job a lot easier.
The Ribbon Fiber Identifier includes three easy to use field changeable adapter heads. Two adapter heads are
dedicated to ribbon fiber making the unit ideal for verifying signal presence or absence (live or dark fiber) on ribbon
fiber. One adapter head is for use on Bare Ribbon Fiber, and the other adapter head is for use on Jacketed Ribbon
Fiber. The third interchangeable adapter head is for testing 3mm patch cords.
