The OVF-1 is specially designed for field personnel who need an efficient and economi-
cal tool for fiber tracing, fiber routing and continuity checking in an optical network
duringandafterinstallation.
Fiber breaks, microbends, and poor optical splices are clearly visible as light glows

The blink mode improves visibility for use in bright ambient light. The highly efficient
laser diode operates at short wavelengths of 635 nm to ensure that the emitted light is
clearly visible to the human eye. Fibre tracing is possible over more than 5 km for single-
mode fibers.
