The Greenlee Communications 180XL Visual Fibre Optic Fault Locator Kit is an essential tool for technicians working with fibre optic networks. This visual fault locator is designed to quickly and safely identify loss locations such as macrobends, bad connectors, and other fibre discontinuities, ensuring efficient troubleshooting without the need for expensive equipment.

The 180XL allows you to visually confirm fibre continuity at distances up to 7 km, making it ideal for both short and long-range inspections. With a Class 2 designation, it ensures safe light levels for the technician during operation. The unit features a universal 2.5mm bulkhead connector, with an optional 1.25mm adaptor for versatility, and a clear red/green LED display for easy reading.

This fault locator operates at a 650nm ±10nm wavelength with a Fabry-Perot emitter type, providing 0dBm output power. It is compatible with both single-mode and multi-mode fibres, and offers multiple operation modes including 2Hz modulation, pulsed, and continuous wave (CW) modes. The device is powered by 3.9Wh batteries, delivering up to 80 hours of battery life for extended field use.

The compact and lightweight design, weighing just 120g (excluding batteries) and measuring 180mm in length with a 23mm diameter, makes it easy to carry and handle.
