EXFO spec sheet for the FiberFinder LFD-300B live fiber identifier and TG-300B tone generator, covering features, applications and specifications.
This four-page spec sheet from EXFO describes the FiberFinder LFD-300B/TG-300B, presented as a triple test tool combining a live fiber identifier, a live fiber detector and a dark fiber identifier. The document lists key features such as pinpointing a specific live fiber with EXFO's FiberFinder functionality, an induced loss of 1 dB or less, dark fiber location through tone recognition at 270 Hz, 1 kHz and 2 kHz, and a test cycle of under 6 seconds.
The sheet explains the live and dark fiber identification problem and how the LFD-300B and the TG-300B tone generator address it, including automatic angle optimization to limit insertion loss, ambient light offset, and a clip-on arm for single-person use. General specifications, fiber and loss specifications, ordering information for the LFD-300B, TG-300B and TK-FF kit, and FCC and WEEE compliance notes complete the document.

A maximum loss of 1 dB is guaranteed for most singlemode telecom fibers and any wavelength.
The test cycle takes less than 6 seconds.
It is optimized for 900 µm, 1.6 mm and 3 mm jackets, with no need to replace the headpiece.
Dark fibers are located using tone recognition at 270 Hz, 1 kHz and 2 kHz.
