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.

± 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. ± 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. 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. With a backscatter coefficient of -63 dB at 850 nm using a calibrated -14 dB reference. 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.
