EXFO’S iOLM

EXFO’s iOLM fiber test solution turned 10 years old this summer, and perhaps its best gift came in August with the version 8.35 release. This release includes a new Optimode called Fast Medium Range (FMR), which characterizes two wavelengths in point-to-point testing in less than 30 seconds for 20km. Additionally, EXFO recently added characterization capability for unbalanced splitters so if you are deploying and maintaining a distributed tap network, this upgrade is for you. This is a free update to existing iOLM licensed versions, so make sure you run your updates to take advantage of the valuable time savings of FMR.
