The Fluke OFTM-5630 OptiFiber is a single-mode fiber Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) module engineered for precise testing, diagnostics, and certification of single-mode fiber optic links. Operating at 1310 nm ±20 nm and 1550 nm ±20 nm, this module integrates into the OptiFiber® Certifying OTDR mainframe (OF-500) to deliver field-proven event detection and attenuation measurement across distances up to 10 km. The OFTM-5630 pinpoints reflectance events, splices, bends, and connectors with distance accuracy of ±2 m, making it essential for rapid fault isolation in production and maintenance workflows.
