FL150 FaultScout®
Fibre Optic Multimeter for Fast FTTx and Last-Mile Fibre Testing
The FL150 FaultScout® is a compact, rugged fibre optic multimeter that simplifies fibre network testing and certification. Designed for service activation teams and technicians of all experience levels, it verifies optical links in as little as 30 seconds using a single fibre connection.
At the press of a button, the device automatically analyses links using intelligent V-Scout link mapping technology. Its integrated in-line Optical Power Meter (OPM) supports single and dual PON signals at 1490 nm and 1577 nm, delivering fast and accurate results without requiring OTDR expertise. Optional fibre inspection microscopes are available for connector inspection and maintenance.
