"Our customers are focused on reducing costs and improving the efficiency of their technicians.  Fiber OneShot PRO makes it possible for a technician with very little training to find the most common faults impacting fiber network performance -- from detecting bad splices and breaks to finding severe macro and microbends," said Ed Sztuka, vice president, Communications Service Providers, Fluke Networks, adding that the testing range allows technicians to quickly cover both large rural networks, and at 15 miles, 95 percent of all US metro areas.

Fiber OneShot PRO complements fiber network troubleshooting tools currently in the market by ensuring there are now products at all ends of the spectrum – from Visual Fault Locators (VFL) to locate high-loss faults over shorter distances, as well as singlemode and multimode Optical Domain Reflectometers (OTDRs) for deeper, more robust network analysis and comprehensive fiber certification.

 "Fiber OneShot PRO is designed to be that 'first response' tool for all singlemode fiber network applications worldwide," said Sztuka.

According to a fiber infrastructure manager for a major U.S. CATV service, Fiber OneShot PRO is the perfect tool for their application. A great first-responder fiber diagnostic tool, the Fiber OneShot PRO helps telecoms respond to customers' needs much more quickly.
