Locating Breaks and Bending Losses

The Tempo 80XL visual fault finder is an indispensable tool for quickly identifying bending losses and breaks in optical fibres. If a fibre is bent too tightly, red laser light will be seen escaping through the jacket. Likewise, if a fibre is broken, escaping light will be visible where the break is located.

Identifying Bad Ceramic Connectors

Ceramic connectors are easily tested using the 180XL visual fault finder. A fibre broken inside, or past, the ferrule will cause it to glow. If the whole connector glows, it is definitely defective. If the end face polish of the connector is bad, light will be reflected internally. This will also make the ferrule glow when the 180XL is used.
