VisiFault Visual Fault Locator (VFL)
New tool traces fiber, verifies continuity and
polarity, helps find breaks
2VisiFault L&L June 2004
Key features
Bright visible light for fiber tracing, continuity and polarity verification, and fault location
Rugged design is built to last Easy to use
3VisiFault L&L June 2004
Tracing, verification and fault location
Emits a bright beam of readily visible red light Similar to a laser pointer
Basic tool for visually tracing fibers Connect to one end of a fiber then locate the other end, even
if it one of many fibers either in cable or terminated in a rack Quickly check end-to-end continuity (no breaks) Verify the proper polarity (orientation) within a multi-fiber
connector like the MT-RJ Quickly illuminate fiber faults
Breaks, damaged connectors on patch cords, defective splices in splice trays, tight fiber bends in and around equipment racks
Light may not be visible through thick or dark-colored cable sheaths, connector boots or dust caps

Rugged design is built to last
Withstands drops, impacts and rough treatment Features a durable energy-absorbing holster, impact-
resistant case and heavy-duty end cap ensuring years of trouble-free operation in demanding field
applications Industrially engineered custom-case
mechanically tough Unlike more fragile VFLs that utilize a flashlight body or plain
plastic case
compact for field-use ergonomically designed for comfort

Safety information
Warning label: Class 2 laser Do not stare into beam
Momentary exposure to the VFL’s output will not damage your eyes, however direct, long-term exposure is potentially hazardous
Cover the output with a dust cap when the VFL is not is use
View the output indirectly by shining the light onto a white card or sheet of paper
