Optical fiber multimeter
What is an Optical Fiber Multimeter (OFM)?
An optical fiber multimeter (OFM) is an essential handheld tool for fiber optic technicians, alike to well-known multimeters used for electrical circuits.
OFMs do quick measurements of multiple key optical parameters such as loss (dB), optical return loss (dB), length (meters) and power (dBm). It helps technicians verify fiber optic link health and troubleshoot potential issues.Â
