Fluke Networks FTS900 Multimode Fibre Test Kit The Fluke Networks Fiber QuickMap FTS900 series fibre optic test equipment has a measurement range up to 1.5km. This test equipment measures the length and identifies high loss events on multimode (Fiber QuickMap) fibre optic cable. Just like an Optical Time Domain Reflectometers (OTDR), its laser sends light pulses through the fibre and measures the power and timing of light reflected from high loss connections and splices and the end of the fibre. VFLs work well for exposed lengths of fibre near a patch panel by illuminating bad connections and breaks. They are not helpful for cable runs more than a few meters or when the cable is not visible or accessible or when the laser light cannot penetrate the jacket. An OTDR provides 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 to and skill to operate. This equipment fills the gap between a VFL and an OTDR. This equipment has the simplicity of a VFL and provides distance and power information on high losses, breaks and the end of the fibre. It is supplied with a screw-on interchangeable SC adapter, UPC to UPC 2m patch cord, carrying case, Quick Reference Guide (manuals in 9 languages available on-line), safety instruction manual, batteries and VisiFault locator with a 2.5mm universal adapter.
