The CableMaster FO is a fiber optic power meter that measures seven 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. The device’s power meter provides measurements in dBm and mW to determine signal strength. It also features a flashlight to assist in dark wiring cabinets and includes a copper RJ45 patch cord tester for checking wiremaps.

Designed as a pocket-sized tool, CableMaster FO is portable across the jobsite and features a USBrechargeable battery capable of up to 80 hours of operation. All measurements are easily readable on the device’s clear digital display.

Applications include measuring fiber light loss or signal strength at the opposite end of a fiber. “CableMaster FO is a great example of how Softing creates portfolio advantage,” says Deane Horn, Director of Marketing for Softing Inc. “After 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.” Similarly, the CableMaster FO can read the power of any fiber line that has an SFP.
