Description

The FF-3306H Optical fiber identifier is used to detect signal direction and approximate power at any position of SM and MM fiber link. 
During fiber maintenance, installation and cabling, it is often necessary to find or identify a specific optical fiber without interrupting the working signals in fiber. FF-3306H identifier is used to identify the modulation (270Hz/ 1kHz/ 2kHz) signals that is injected into the optical fiber at one end. 
Direction & Intensity Weak optical signal is revealed when optical fiber is bent, and the direction and intensity of the optical signal are detected by judging the direction and intensity of the leakage. It can directly detect 0.25mm bare optical fiber, 0.9mm, 2.0mm, 3.0mm indoor fiber cable without damaging the cable or interrupting continuous communication. 
VFL the red light source is 10mW, which is used to find fault points of 10km fiber cable. 
OPM with 6 calibrated wavelengths, used to measure the fiber under test.

Optical Fiber Identifier FF-3306H Datasheet

FAQ

Q: What main functions does the FF-3306H offer?

A: The FF-3306H is a 3-in-1 tool that combines an Optical Fiber Identifier, a 10mW Visual Fault Locator (VFL), and an Optical Power Meter (OPM).

Q: Does testing with the FF-3306H interrupt live fiber traffic?

A: No, it non-destructively detects optical signal direction and power by sensing micro-bending leakage without interrupting active network traffic or damaging the fiber.

Q: What fiber types and cable diameters are supported?

A: It works with both single-mode (SM) and multi-mode (MM) fibers, accommodating 0.25mm (250µm) bare fibers as well as 0.9mm (900µm), 2.0mm, and 3.0mm indoor cables via its universal adapter.

Q: Which signal modulations can the identifier detect?

A: It identifies Continuous Wave (CW) signals as well as modulated tones at 270Hz, 1kHz, and 2kHz.

Q: What are the capabilities of the built-in VFL and OPM?

A:

  • VFL: Features a 10mW, 650nm red light source for locating fault points up to 10km away.
  • OPM: Measures power from -50 to +26dBm across 6 calibrated wavelengths (850, 1300, 1310, 1490, 1550, and 1625nm).

Q: What power source does the FF-3306H use?

A: It is powered by 2x AA batteries.

Deploying the FF-3306H across our metro maintenance teams has drastically reduced accidental service interruptions during live fiber cutover operations. The non-destructive micro-bending mechanism senses leaked light to determine traffic direction and relative core power without breaking continuous transmission or damaging 0.25mm bare fibers and 0.9mm/2.0mm/3.0mm jacketed jumpers. Its InGaAs detector reliably identifies active tone modulations at 270Hz, 1kHz, and 2kHz across a broad 800–1700nm wavelength range. The low typical insertion loss—0.8dB at 1310nm and 2.5dB at 1550nm—ensures active subscriber connections remain well within link budget margins during live identification audits.

Consolidating three critical field tools into a single 145g handheld unit makes the FF-3306H an outstanding value for large-scale B2B procurement. Beyond its core fiber identification capabilities, having a integrated 10mW Visual Fault Locator (650nm) allows technicians to immediately trace fiber macro-bends and localized breaks up to 10km away via the 2.5mm universal interface. Simultaneously, the built-in Optical Power Meter offers 6 calibrated wavelengths (850/1300/1310/1490/1550/1625nm) with a wide measurement range of -50 to +26dBm and 0.01dBm display resolution. It effectively eliminates the need for technicians to carry multiple separate test meters into tight drop vaults.

The ergonomic design and field reliability of the FF-3306H make it ideal for everyday OSP fiber troubleshooting. Operating on 2x standard AA batteries with a wide temperature range from -20°C to +60°C, it performs flawlessly in harsh outdoor cabinets and sub-zero field environments. The universal clamp adapter handles transition between 250µm primary-coated fiber and 3mm indoor patch cords seamlessly without requiring tool-swapping head accessories. For telecom contractors requiring fast signal direction verification and precise power audits at a reference cost of $95 USD, this 3-in-1 identifier is an essential addition to standard technician toolkits.
