Fluke Networks® FQM-100-M-VFL Fiber QuickMap Kit with VisiFault
Works on multimode fiber,
9/125µm and 62.5/125 µm
850 nm output wavelength
Measure up to 4,921 feet (1,500 metres) of fiber in seconds
Locate the end of a fiber
Locate severe bends, high-loss splices, breaks and dirty connectors in singlemode fiber
Measure and locate high-loss splices
Find potential sources of high bit error rates caused by reflectance from dirty or poor connections
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.

When and Where to Use Fiber OneShot PRO and Fiber QuickMap
Fiber OneShot PRO provides immediate and in-depth visibility into a singlemode fiber cable (below).
Fiber QuickMap operates the same, except on multimode fiber up to 1,500 meters / 4,921 feet.
