Fluke Networks FQM-100-M-VFL Fiber Quickmap

Overview

The Fluke Networks FQM-100-M-VFL is a multimode fiber fault locator that bridges the gap between simple visual fault locators (VFLs) and expensive optical time domain reflectometers (OTDRs). It provides distance and power measurements to quickly identify problems in multimode fiber networks without requiring extensive setup or specialized expertise.

Key Features

• Works on multimode fiber (50/125µm and 62.5/125µm)
• 850 nm output wavelength, measures up to 1,500 meters (4,921 feet)
• Quick six-second test time for rapid troubleshooting
• Detects live optical signals before testing
• Locates severe bends, high-loss splices, breaks, and dirty connectors
• Identifies potential sources of reflectance and high bit error rates
• Adjustable Index of Refraction (IOR) for improved length accuracy
