The HELIAC-R, manufactured by The Fiber Guy, is a culmination of the most often used tools in the live event world of fiber optics. This compact unit, occupying only two rack units, allows technicians to simply plug in the fiber cables to one of three ports: the microscope, the visual fault locator (laser), or the optical power meter. It also features a mounted, refillable cleaning cassette!
