Advanced Features and Benefits of the AFL OFI-BIPM and OFI-BIPMe Optical Fiber Identifiers
The AFL OFI-BIPM and OFI-BIPMe offer several cutting-edge features that set them apart from traditional fiber identifiers. These include high signal detection sensitivity, the ability to work with a range of fiber types, and an integrated power meter. Here are some key features and benefits that make these tools indispensable:
- World-Class Signal Detection Sensitivity: The AFL OFI-BIPM and OFI-BIPMe deliver exceptional sensitivity, allowing technicians to detect even the weakest signals with precision. This ensures accurate fiber identification and prevents costly mistakes during network maintenance.
- Integrated Optical Power Meter: Both models come with an integrated optical power meter, enabling quick verification of power levels during installations or troubleshooting. This feature helps to eliminate the need for multiple tools, saving both time and space.
- Color Touchscreen: The 2.4” color touchscreen provides simple-to-follow setup instructions and displays results clearly, even in low-light conditions. This makes it easier for technicians to focus on the task at hand without second-guessing the readings.
- Universal Fiber Compatibility: Designed to work with a variety of fiber types, including 0.25mm, ribbon fibers, and jacketed fibers up to 3.0mm, the AFL OFI-BIPM and OFI-BIPMe eliminate the need for changing adapter heads. This universal compatibility adds to their ease of use in the field.
- Positive-Stop Trigger: The unique positive-stop trigger lock ensures the right amount of pressure is applied every time, minimizing fiber loss while preventing damage to delicate fibers.
- Field-Ready Design: Both models are ergonomically designed to be lightweight and portable, making them ideal for fieldwork. The AFL OFI-BIPM and OFI-BIPMe are favorite choices among technicians for their durability and ease of use.
- Multiple Signal Detection Modes: In addition to continuous wave (CW) signals, the AFL OFI-BIPMe also detects modulated tones, including 270Hz, 330Hz, 1kHz, and 2kHz, providing enhanced troubleshooting capabilities.
- No Service Interruptions: Nicknamed “The Job Saver,” these devices do not require technicians to access the optical fiber at a connection or splice point. This eliminates the risk of interrupting customer service, making it safer for live network maintenance.
The AFL OFI-BIPM and OFI-BIPMe Optical Fiber Identifiers are reliable tools that combine convenience, precision, and protection. They are designed for those who demand accuracy without compromising on the safety of fiber optics, whether in standard or more challenging environments.
