Visual Fault Identifiers
A visual fault identifier or visual fault locator (VFI / VFL) is a visible red laser designed to inject visible light energy into a fiber. Sharp bends, breaks, faulty connectors and other faults will “leak” red light allowing technicians to visually spot the defects.
The VFI is an ideal tool for locating a large number of defects that occur at connection points in and around fiber cabinets which are hidden in an OTDRs “blind-spot” or dead-zone. AFL offers VFI units for both single-ferrule and multi-ferrule connector styles.

Multi-Fiber network construction is time consuming, complicated, and often built by more than one crew with mixed sets of documentation. Mistakes, such as mislabeling, are almost guaranteed. AFL’s Multi-Fiber Identification System (MFIS) provide 100% multi-fiber network continuity assurance. It is a simple user-friendly way to verify network construction quickly, correctly, and efficiently.
Essential tool for Data Center Maintenance - Quickly verify MPO / MTP® fiber cable type (A, B, C), continuity and end-to-end polarity.
VFI are sources of visible red laser light that helps installers and fiber technicians quickly locate defects in single-mode or multimode fiber optic cable. HiLite includes universal connectors that offer quick connection to single ferrule connectors such as FC, SC, ST, LC, MU, and more.
