| Choosing the Optimal Light Source |
| Light sources perform a variety of functions. While some fall under
the multipurpose category, providing automated features, others are optimized
for specific tasks such as detecting faults, breaks and microbends in the fiber.
The key to success: choosing the light source that meets your needs. |
