Search Tips...

Keyword Search
Our search engine uses any or all keywords typed in the text box to give you product search results.
For instance, typing in kvm will give you a broader set of results than kvm switch cables.

Note, however, that keywords in quotes are treated as a single phrase and will not be evaluated individually.

Booleans (AND, +, OR, NOT, -) are not supported.

Also, some keywords will not return results, and may automatically correct to a similar keyword.

Part Number Search Selection
Select this Search in the drop down box to search by part number instead of keywords.

Wild Card Search
The * character is only supported in a limited capacity. Using whole words is the best approach whenever possible.

"New Search" Radio Button
Search the entire section that you are currently in.

"Search Within Results" Radio Button
Enter keywords or a part number to limit your results within the previously searched results.


Other features

A list of all matching product categories or resources will appear in the upper left corner of the results page, when applicable, to help you further narrow your results, if you desire.

Use the "sort by" drop-down menu on the results page to sort by "most popular" and price (low to high or high to low)
in the store section.

FOLTI

Extended Double Diamond™ Warranty Available
(Three years for two)

Product Highlights

  • Identify live fibers and avoid unnecessary service disruptions.

  • Identify fibers by detecting the signals being transmitted.
  • The local detection technology, non-destructive macro-bend detection, doesn't damage or overstress the fiber.


    • Description

    Live Traffic Identifier for Fiber


    Quick Facts

  • Identify live fibers and avoid unnecessary service disruptions.
  • Eliminate the need to open the fiber at the splice point causing service interruption.
  • Identify fibers by detecting the signals being transmitted.
  • The local detection technology, non-destructive macro-bend detection, doesn't damage or overstress the fiber.

    • Further Details

  • When traffic is present on the fiber, an audible tone sounds.
  • Detects low frequency tones at 270 Hz, 1 kHz, and 2 kHz.
  • Traffic direction is also indicated by LEDs on the probe.
  • A range of 850 to 1700 nm enables use on single-mode and multimode fiber.
  • Use with 900-µm buffered fiber, 250-µm coated or ribbon fiber, and 3-mm jacketed fiber. Three adapters are included.
  • Ideal for troubleshooting, maintenance, and rerouting fiber cable without disrupting service.
  • Displays the Relative Core Power to help identify bad connectors and splice points.
  • Features a lightweight but rugged metal housing.
  • Easy-to-use, hands-free operation.
  • Can be used with a light source.

    • Repair a fiber cable on an active network with the Black Box® Live Traffic Identifier for Fiber. It’s the technician's must-have instrument for isolating a fiber that's not transmitting properly because of bends, breaks, bad connectors, and more.

    Instead of opening the fiber at the splice point and causing service interruptions, all you need to do is clamp the Live Traffic Identifier on the fiber. It works by detecting the optical signals being transmitted through the fiber. By using a non-destructive macro-bend detection technology, it doesn't damage or overstress the fiber.

    The identifier detects low-frequency tones at 270 Hz, 1 kHz, and 2 kHz. When it detects traffic on the fiber being tested, it sounds an audible alarm. In addition, an LED indicates the traffic direction.

    Because the Identifier uses InGaAs detectors, you can use it on single-mode and multimode cable with wavelengths ranging from 850 to 1700 nm.

    What’s included
  • Fiber Optic Probe
  • (3) interchangeable adapters heads for jacketed, coated, and ribbon fiber
  • Carrying case
