Fluke Networks FQM-MAIN Fiber QuickMap

The Fluke Networks FQM-MAIN Fiber QuickMap is a new category of enterprise fiber troubleshooter that leapfrogs the limited capability troubleshooters currently on the market, the Fiber QuickMap quickly and efficiently locates connections and breaks in multimode fiber with the press of one-button. By instantly (six second typical test time) providing distances to failures such as high loss and high reflectance incidents, it is the must-have troubleshooter for any technician who works with fiber in datacenters.

Listed by the Canadian Standards Association CSA C22.2 No. 61010.1.04
Conforms to FCC Rules, Part A
1. ± user-configurable Index of Refraction (IOR) error ± the incident location error. Incident location error for reflective incidents: ±1 m from 1 m to 1.5 km.
2. ± user-configurable Index of Refraction (IOR) error ± the incident location error. Incident location error for non-reflective incidents: ±2 m for lengths ≤15 m, otherwise ±1 m.
3. Finds and gives the location of an incident that has a reflectance larger than -55 dB. Detects incidents >1m after the bulkhead connector when the bulkhead reflectance is <35 dB. Detects incidents >3 m after an incident when the incident reflectance is <35 dB.
4. With a backscatter coefficient of -63 dB at 850 nm using a calibrated -14 dB reference
5. Detects incidents >10 m after the bulkhead connector or any prior incident when the bulkhead reflectance is <-35 dB and the reflectance of any prior incident is <-35 dB. The maximum link loss prior to the incident is <7 dB.
