Fluke networks Fiber QuickMap™

Optical Time Domain Reflectometers (OTDR) provides graphical data and analysis along the entire length of a cable, way beyond the reach of a VFL, but they can be expensive and require more time to and skill to operate.Fiber QuickMap fills the gap between a VFL and an OTDR. These models have the simplicity of a VFL, and provide distance and power information on high losses, breaks, and the end of the fiber. They also identify live fiber

Key features

• Works on multimode fiber, 50/125µm and 62.5/125 µm
• 850 nm output wavelength. Measure up to 4,921 feet (1,500 metres) of fiber in seconds
• Locate severe bends, high-loss splices, breaks and dirty connectors in multimode fiber
• Measure and locate high-loss splices
• Locate the end of a fiber
• Find potential sources of high bit error rates caused by reflectance from dirty or poor connections
• Detects live optical signals before it begins testing
• Quick set-up. Connect your fiber and press the Test button. No lengthy set-up necessary
• Find problems quickly. Six-second test time—no more blind troubleshooting that can waste hours
• Change the Index of Refraction (IOR) to improve fiber length accuracy
