摘要:
A hand-held instrument uses a red laser to both provide a visual indication to the user of where a fault is present along an optical fiber, and a distance measurement to the user where the fault is present along the optical fiber. The instrument provides a single bulkhead to which the optical fiber is attached to accomplish this dual functionality. The instrument passes a beam of red light into the optical fiber. When the red light encounters a fault in the optical fiber, the red light is emitted from the optical fiber so that the user can visually detect the fault. In addition, the red light is reflected back to the instrument and the instrument determines and outputs a distance measurement at which the fault is located.

An adapter is configured to hold a loose tube fiber cable and is mountable into a fusion splicer. The adapter includes a clamp base having a first and second grooves, each groove having a centerline, a width and a depth. The depth of the second groove is greater than the depth of the first groove, such that a shoulder is formed between the first and second grooves. The centerlines of the grooves align. This allows for the loose tube fiber cable or splice-on connector to be properly positioned within the grooves. The first groove is V-shaped. The second groove may be V-shaped, U-shaped or square-shaped. A clamp cover seats on the clamp base. The clamp cover has a compressible pad which, when the clamp cover is placed into a facing relationship with the clamp base, the pad aligns with the first groove.
