With less than 1dB of induced   loss, a live fiber can quickly be located and the power measured while minimizing network access time and the possibility for errors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDownload Product Spec Sheet:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/foscoshopify\/pdf\/EXFO-LFD-300B-TG-300B-Fiber-Identifier-Spec-Sheet.pdf\"\u003eEXFO LFD-300 Fiber Identifer and TG-300B Fiber Toner Spec Sheet (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePinpointing Live and Dark Fibers: Guesswork Ends Here\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePerforming network upgrade or optical testing requires a fiber to be disconnected. This is often easier said than done, since finding the right connection can be tricky, namely because of fiber mislabeling or poor record keeping. While the dark fiber can be identified using a tone generator (270 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz), the live fiber identification technique often involves one technician pulling one end of the patchcord, with another technician trying to identify which patchcord is moving at the other end process that translates into long delays and can result in unnecessary service disruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCombined with the TG-300B Tone Generator, the innovative LFD-300B FiberFinder Live Fiber Identifier enables technicians to identify a specific live fiber without having to disconnect it and, above all, without having to guess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis brings key benefits:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003eNo more network outages as a result of fiber detection\/identification procedures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003eThe minimized need to access the network helps prevent errors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEXFO LFD-300B FiberFinder: A Uniquely Designed Live Fiber Identifier\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor major singlemode fibers, insertion loss is a function of the bending angle.

A push-down cap can also be placed on the head-end to block intense ambient light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry First: the FiberFinder Functionality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor detecting dark\/live fibers or identifying a particular dark fiber using a pulse light (270 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz), traditional LFD functionalities do the trick. However, they cannot pinpoint a specific live fiber especially with doubtful labeling and poor record-keeping and help you ensure you disconnect the right one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, disconnecting the wrong fiber causes downtime, a costly consequence that can easily be avoided. For instance, at US$10,000 per hour and per wavelength, downtime can cost up to US$160,000 per hour for a 16-channel 10 Gbit\/s WDM system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCombined with the TG-300B, a non-intrusive, non-disruptive clip-on signature generator that is based on FiberFinder technology, EXFO LFD-300B addresses this need with guaranteed low loss. Installed at the transmitter site, the TG-300B adds a typical 0.25 dB signature to the live signal by applying a soft low-frequency modulation pressure to the fiber. This signature is then detected at the other end by the LFD-300B, in mere seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EXFO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49084685615360,"sku":"LFD-300","price":10023.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0388\/5331\/2557\/files\/LFD-300_53b42c4f-be99-4356-805c-b52bce5af157.jpg?v=1785216639","url":"https:\/\/alotechparts.com\/products\/exfo-lfd-300-live-fiber-identifier","provider":"Alo Tech Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
