CableMaster FO

Multifunctional optical power meter with VFL

The CableMaster FO from Softing is a versatile optical power meter designed specifically for FTTX broadband installations. It combines the functions of an optical power meter, a visual fault locator (VFL with red light) and a torch. It also features an RJ45 patch cord test. The ergonomic design and rechargeable battery offer high reliability and ease of use for precise measurements and fast fault detection in fiber optic cabling.
