COMPTYCO AUA-30 30mW Fiber Optic Visual Fault Locator – 650nm VFL Pen for FTTH & Fibre Cable Testing
The COMPTYCO AUA-30 30mW Fiber Optic Visual Fault Locator (VFL) is a professional fibre optic testing tool designed for FTTH installation, telecom maintenance, fibre cable troubleshooting and network fault detection. With a powerful 650nm red laser output of more than 30mW, the AUA-30 helps technicians quickly identify fibre breaks, bends, damaged sections and faulty connections over long-distance optical fibre lines.
Its rugged aluminium/metal body, universal 2.5mm connector, dual operating modes and replaceable ceramic core make the AUA-30 a practical and durable solution for professional field technicians.
KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS
???? Powerful 30mW Red Laser Output
The AUA-30 provides a >30mW optical output at 650nm ±10nm, producing a bright visible red beam that can be used to trace fibre routes and locate faults along optical fibre cables.
Ideal for identifying:
Fibre breaks
Excessive bends
Damaged fibre sections
Incorrect fibre connections
Light leakage
Fibre continuity issues
???? Universal 2.5mm Fibre Connector
The built-in 2.5mm universal adapter supports commonly used:
SC connectors
FC connectors
ST connectors
For 1.25mm LC interfaces, an optional FC-to-LC adapter can be used.
???? CW & GLINT Flashing Modes
The AUA-30 features two selectable light modes:
CW – Continuous Wave: Constant red laser output for continuous fibre tracing.
GLINT – Flashing: Pulsed flashing output for easier fault identification.
OFF: Turns the unit off.
The convenient sliding switch makes changing between operating modes quick and easy.
????️ Rugged Metal Construction
Built with a wear-resistant aluminium/metal body, the AUA-30 is designed for demanding field environments. The knurled anti-slip grip provides a secure hold while performing fibre testing and maintenance.
???? Replaceable Ceramic Core
The removable 2.5mm metal head allows access to the internal 7mm ceramic core, which can be replaced when required. This helps extend the service life of the VFL and simplifies maintenance.
???? Long Battery Runtime
The AUA-30 operates using 2 × AA alkaline batteries and provides a battery life of more than 9 hours, making it suitable for extended fibre installation and troubleshooting work.
