Multimode Fiber Distance and Fault Locator
Locate Faults beyond the range of a Visual Fault Locator (VFL)
VFLs work well for exposed lengths of fiber near a patch panel by illuminating bad
connections and breaks. They are not very helpful for cable runs more than a few
meters, or when the cable is not visible or accessible, or when the laser light can’t
penetrate the jacket.
Optical Time Domain Reflectometers (OTDR) provide 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 and skill to operate.
Fiber OneShot PRO and Fiber QuickMap fill 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.
Fiber OneShot™ PRO and Fiber
QuickMap™ measure length and
identify high loss events on single
mode (Fiber OneShot PRO) and
Multimode (Fiber QuickMap) fiber
optic cable. Like an OTDR, a laser
sends light pulses through the fiber
and measures the power and timing
of light reflected from high loss
connections and splices, and the
end of the fiber.
They are very simple to use:
1. Turn on the unit.
2. Connect your fiber to the SC
connector on the unit (optional
adapters for LC, FC and ST, are
available) – remember to clean
connector end faces first
3. Press “Test”.
4. In about 5-6 seconds the unit
displays loss and distance of the
first incident detected. Additional
incidents can be seen by pressing
the up or down buttons. The unit
automatically checks to make
sure the fiber is not active before
allowing the test to begin.
