FM100 Optical Fibre Monitoring System
The FM100 Fibre Monitor is a real-time optical fibre network monitoring & testing system that is able to detect fibre damages, fibre cuts and fibre degradation over time. The system performs active (live) fibre monitoring by using WDM coupler to separate measurement data from live data traffic. The system is independent of the application and data rate. Based on the OTDR(i) principle, the FM100 Fibre Monitor precisely profiles the attenuation graph of a given fibre. Any variation from the stored profile will trigger an alarm. Due to time domain measurement the exact location of any fault is detected and reported. The FM100 Fibre Monitor is able to alert operation staff through alarm notification. The alarm report consists of type of alarm, date and time of alarm, location of fault, cable ID and fibre ID. The alarm thresholds are individually adaptable. The FM100 Fibre Monitor may be connected to GIS compliant systems to display cable faults directly on a geographical map.

NB: OTDR(i) - The FM100 Fibre Monitor contains an Optical Time Domain Reflectometer which can measure the characteristics of an optical fibre by sending pulses of laser light from the laser diode into the fibre and measuring the reflected light with an avalanche photodiode detector.
