Fluke Networks FQM-MAIN Fiber QuickMap

Overview

As more OM3 and OM4 multimode fiber is installed in enterprise networks to suppo 10, 40, and 100 gigabit traffic, fiber infrastructure reliability has never been more critical. As such, the essential capability for enterprise technicians to measure and troubleshoot individual components of the overall fiber channel to prevent network downtime (or to hasten its recovery) is considered one of the Fiber Best Practices. It is no longer acceptable for the technician to spend costly time troubleshooting using a trial and error process before elevating the issue to another technician with OTDR experience. Every technician should have the network tester tools "on their belt" capable of pinpointing the problem within seconds.
Fluke Networks' Fiber QuickMap is an enterprise fiber troubleshooter that quickly and efficiently locates connections and breaks in multimode fiber. By instantly providing distances to failures such as high loss and high reflectance incidents, Fiber QuickMap is the must-have network tester for any technician who works with fiber.

Features

One-button testing – can be used straight out of the box with no user-setup required Six-second test time, eliminating blind troubleshooting that can last hours Locate multiple incidents in the channel to provide full visibility of any potentially problematic links and connections Locate high loss incidents or breaks, the most common causes of multimode fiber failure Locate and measure high reflective incidents, which cause poor network performance with bit error rates Various kit configurations include additional diagnostics tools such as power meters, sources, and fiber inspection microscopes to facilitate Fiber Best Practices and to boost the troubleshooting capability of technicians Perfect data center cabling network tester
