F6222 F6222C

hand-held optical fiber identifier

Description

The Wilcom Models F6222 and F6222C Optical Fiber

Identifier are a rugged, easy-to-use installation and

maintenance instrument which identifies optical fibers

by detecting the optical signals being transmitted through

a fiber. The Model F6222C Optical Fiber Identifier is

designed specifically to meet the needs of the CATV

industry. By utilizing local detection technology (nondestructive

macro-bend detection which does not damage

or overstress the fiber), the unit eliminates the need

to open the fiber at the splice point for identification;

eliminating the probability of interrupting service.

Both Optical Fiber Identifiers detect 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

Optical Fiber Identifiers can make the job a lot easier.

The Optical Fiber Identifiers include a carrying pouch containing three easy to use field interchangeable adapter

heads to accommodate; 900 μm buffered fiber, ribbon or 250μm coated fiber and 3mm jacketed fiber.

 

 

√ Rugged Metal Case

The units use the same field proven

lightweight rugged metal housing as the rest of

Wilcom's Optical FIber Identifier product line.

√ 850nm to 1700nm Range

With the use of InGaAs detectors, the unit can

be used on singlemode and multimode

applications.

√ Audible Tone

The unit provides an audible tone in the

presence of a fiber optic signal.

 

Features and

Benefits

 

 

 

√ Core Power Display

Both the F6222 and F6222C can display

Relative Core Power which is helpful in identifying

bad connectors, splice points, etc.

√ LED Indication

LEDs indicate tone detection, Traffic presence,

Traffic Direction, and Low Battery.

√ Hands-Free-Operation

With an easy to use thumb lock, hands-free

operation can be enabled and disabled.
