The CableMaster FO is a fiber optic power meter capable of measuring 7 different wavelengths. Power can be measured in decibel-milliwatts (dBm), decibels (dB) or milliwatts (mW). This optical power meter includes a visual fault locator for port and polarity detection and an attenuation meter for seven signal wavelengths in dB. To determine signal strength, the device\u2019s power meter provides measurements in dBm and mW. It also features a flashlight to assist in dark wiring cabinets and includes a copper RJ45 patch cord tester for checking wiremaps.<\/p>\n

Designed as a pocket-sized tool, CableMaster FO is portable across the jobsite and
\nfeatures a USB- rechargeable battery capable of up to 80 hours of operation. All
\nmeasurements are easily readable on the device\u2019s clear digital display.<\/p>\n

Applications include measuring fiber light loss or signal strength at the opposite end of a fiber. \u201cCableMaster FO is a great example of how Softing creates portfolio advantage,\u201d says Deane Horn, Director of Marketing for Softing Inc. \u201cAfter connecting the LinkXpert M3, a fiber network infrastructure tester, to inject a light source into the fiber, you can use the pocket-size CableMaster FO tester to measure the attenuation at the other end of the cable.\u201d Similarly, the CableMaster FO can read the power of any fiber line that has an SFP.<\/p>\n
