Q. I need to locate a specific fiber.

Is there any equipment made

for fiber optics that will do the

same thing as a copper tone generator?

A. EXFO Inc. manufactures a Live Fiber Identifier/Tone

Generator (LFD-300B/TG-300B) that is the only test

equipment that I am familiar with that will do what you are

asking. The fiber identifier induces a bend ( < 1dB) onto a fiber;

this attenuation from the active fiber is then detected and the

identifier will display signal type and direction. The EXFO Tone

Generator has the ability to induce a modulated signal onto a

dark or active fiber. The modulated signal can then be

detected on the opposite end of the fiber using the fiber

identifier to find your fiber. This essentially is doing the same

job as a copper tone generator. EXFO packages both of these

items into a kit – See featured product below.

Call 1–800–5000–FIS (347) to schedule a meeting and product demo!
