PX-Q557 FLASHPISTOL® AERIAL LEAK DETECTION SET
Availability: Call For Availability
The PX-Q557 Flashpistol® aerial leak detection set is state of the art in precision fiber optic fault location. This set is comprised of a PX-Q550 and a PX-Q410. It is designed to find infrared radiation from firearm, rodent, or burn damage in aerial cables as well internal splice enclosure fiber faults. While an OTDR can find approximate distance to a problem, pinpointing problems in the real world is more often about luck, intuition, or trial and error.
The patented PX-Q550 can locate aerial cable faults from ground level or a single bucket location. It can also be used to pinpoint faults inside a splice enclosure or hub using interchangeable heads. To use the Flashpistol® probe, simply squeeze and hold the trigger and sweep over a suspect area.
