The Fluke Networks Fiber QuickMap quickly and efficiently locates connections and breaks in multimode fibre with the press of one button. By instantly (six second typical test time) providing distances to failures such as high-loss and high-reflectance incidents, it is the must-have troubleshooter for any technician who works with fibre in datacenters or campuses.
Locating faults like high loss connections or bad splices often requires a more expensive and complex Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR). The detail, documentation, certification, and ease of use provided by a Fluke Networks OTDR is exceptional but is not always required for basic tests. Fiber Quick Map uses reflections to determine where db losses are occurring in just a few seconds and fills the gap between a Visual Fault Locator (VFL) and OTDR.
