FLS-240 Pocket Pal
The FLS-240 Pocket Pal is a visual fault locator (VFL) designed to identify fibers from end to end and locate polished connector endfaces. Its bright red laser shines through most yellow-jacketed fibers to help pinpoint breaks, bends, faulty connectors, splices, and other causes of signal loss. Compact and rugged, it is ideal for demanding environments.
