MT-7510 10mW Fiber Optic Visual Fault Locator FAQ and support
The light of can not even reach 8 kilometers when testing on the optical fiber network
The distance that can be tested for 8 kilometers is under the circumstance as
1. 25℃ room temperature
2. Using Ø2.5mm ST/SC/FC connector with multi-mode optical fiber cable. In addition, the light can not even reach 3 kilometers may be because of low battery, bad connector, error cable, etc.
Reminder: If you are testing single-mode fiber, the distance will be reduced by about 1/2. If you use an adapter or test with Ø1.25mm LC connector, each contact will lose 1/5 of the distance.
What's the difference between "CW" and "Glint"? What are they used for?
"CW" means continuous wave，which is used to transmit the laser for a long time to check the loss.
"Glint" is generally used for reminding the operator, allowing you to quickly detect the location of the break point.
