The FiberMASTER MM/SM fiber optic testing kit from IDEAL Networks (www.idealnetworks.net) allows network technicians to measure absolute power and calculate the loss of fiber optic links on active LAN cabling infrastructure. By deploying the FiberMASTER, the technician will be able to prevent, detect and resolve the leading causes of optical network downtime, including poor splices, micro-bends, and contaminated connectors. In addition, it will certify cable performance to ISO 11801 and TAI 568-C standards, ensuring that the cable can support bandwidth demand and network applications. The FiberMASTER measures power in milliwatts (mW) and decibel-milliwatts (dBm) when troubleshooting network components. It also measures fiber signal loss (dB) at 850, 1300, 1310, 1490 and 1550nm wavelengths.
Unlike bulky testers, the FiberMASTER features a unique form factor allowing the light source to be docked within the power meter, making it compact for storage while still permitting full operation of both the source and meter. The kit includes a universal adaptor for the power meter and ST, SC and FC adaptors for the light source.
