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.
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.
