OFI1-11-2000 Revision EC, 2020-11-19 Specifications are subject to change without notice. Features • 5-year product warranty; 3-year recommended calibration interval • Rugged, hand-held, lightweight, and easy-to-use • Unique optical head with two-position plunger for use with all fiber types • Visually and audibly indicates tone signal across 2 kHz range Applications • Live fiber identification to avoid technician-induced service outages • Fiber tracing or identification with CW or test tones • Testing 250 μm, 900 μm coated, 2 mm, 3 mm jacketed, and ribbon fiber AFL Optical Fiber Identifiers are rugged, hand-held, and easy-to-use fiber optic test instruments designed to detect optical signals transmitted through a single-mode fiber without disrupting traffic. The OFI-200 is simply clamped onto a fiber and indicates if there is NO SIGNAL, TONE, or TRAFFIC and the associated signal direction. This permits network personnel to easily and quickly identify a specific fiber without the risk of disrupting service. When testing coated fibers, the slim design of the OFI-200 allows easier access on a splice tray where the amount of workspace is limited. No adapters to purchase, store, swap, or misplace: The OFI-200 uses a unique optical head design featuring a two-position plunger that enables it to be used with 250 μm, 900 μm, and ribbon fiber or 2 mm and 3 mm jacketed fiber. Other brands of optical fiber identifiers require users to purchase, store, and change optical plungers each time a different type of fiber is tested. Low insertion loss for in-service ID tasks: The OFI-200 optical head induces a safe, repeatable macro-bend to the fiber that allows a small amount of light to escape for analysis. The insertion loss induced by the macro-bend is too small to affect the signal on the fiber and the integrity of the fiber is unaffected by the measurement process. Designed for the real world: The OFI-200 is a simple, easy-to-use tool that features rugged, drop-proof construction perfect for inside or outside plant use. Its ergonomically designed macro-bend trigger is comfortable to use and the integrated, backlit LCD display enables it to be used in dimly lit spaces. The OFI-200 uses readily available 1.5 V AAA batteries, which power thousands of fiber tests before needing to be replaced.

OFI-200 Optical Fiber Identifer
Rugged, hand-held, and easy-to-use fiber optic test instrument designed to detect optical signals transmitted through a single-mode fiber without disrupting traffic on that fiber. During installation, maintenance, rerouting, or restoration it is often necessary to isolate a specific fiber. By simply clamping an Optical Fiber Identifier onto a fiber, the unit will indicate if there is NO SIGNAL, TONE or TRAFFIC and the associated signal direction. It allows technical personnel to unambiguously identify a specific fiber and eliminates the risk of accidental disruption of revenue service. AFL OLS7, OLS2, CSS1-SM and CSS1-MM Optical Light Sources are ideal companions for the OFI-200.
The OFI-200 is equipped with a unique two-position head design that can be configured, without tools or recalibration, to work with 250 µm, 900µm, ribbon or jacketed fiber. The slim design of the head is particularly valuable when working in splice trays, cabinets and pedestals where work space is limited.
The clamping trigger is ergonomically designed to fit the natural motion of the user's hand. A high-impact molded plastic case makes the OFI-200 suitable for use on either inside or outside plant tasks.
The OFI-200 Optical Fiber Identifier is battery operated and, thanks to an automatic power capability that maximizes battery life, can perform thousands of tests before needing battery replacement. A low battery indicator is also provided.
