Using the Visual Fault Locator

The visual fault locator (VFL) is available with OFTM-573x
modules. The VFL helps you quickly check fiber continuity,
trace fibers, and locat faults along fibers and in
connectors.

Figure 33 shows the equipment required for using the
VFL.

The visual fault locator port accepts connectors with
2.5 mm ferrules (SC, ST, or FC). To connect to other ferrule
sizes, use a patch cord with the appropriate connector at
one end and a SC, ST, or FC connector at the tester end.
