The fibreSales FMS2 Multi-Function Smart OTDR combines several essential fibre and network testing functions within one compact handheld instrument.
Designed for FTTH, FTTB, FTTX, telecommunications and general fibre network testing, the FMS2 combines OTDR analysis with an Optical Power Meter, Visual Fault Locator, Optical Laser Source and RJ45 cable testing capability.
The OTDR operates at 1310 nm and 1550 nm with a dynamic range of 24 dB / 22 dB, providing technicians with a portable solution for locating fibre events, identifying faults and analysing installed optical links.
A 3.5-inch colour touch screen, USB Type-C connectivity, rechargeable 4000 mAh lithium battery and compact 0.34 kg design make the FMS2 particularly suited to field technicians who need multiple testing functions without carrying several separate instruments.
Instead of carrying separate instruments for every stage of fibre troubleshooting, the FMS2 combines several frequently used test functions.
The instrument provides:
This makes the FMS2 particularly useful for technicians who regularly move between fibre installation, fault finding, commissioning and network maintenance tasks.
Choose the FMS2 when you need a compact OTDR together with everyday fibre troubleshooting functions in one portable instrument.
For advanced certification, very long-haul links or specialised high-dynamic-range testing, select test equipment according to the full project requirements.
The FMS2 provides OTDR testing at the two key Singlemode wavelengths:
Using both wavelengths gives technicians greater flexibility when analysing installed fibre links.
The specified dynamic range is:
| Wavelength | Dynamic Range |
|---|---|
| 1310 nm | 24 dB |
| 1550 nm | 22 dB |
This combination suits common access, building, campus and telecommunications fibre testing applications.
The FMS2 provides selectable measurement ranges from short local links through to longer fibre routes.
Available ranges include:
This gives technicians flexibility when testing anything from short FTTH links through to longer optical fibre routes.
The FMS2 provides an event dead zone of less than 2.5 metres.
A shorter event dead zone can help technicians distinguish optical events that occur relatively close together.
This can prove particularly useful when analysing shorter access networks, building fibre and links containing closely spaced connectors or splices.
The specified attenuation dead zone is less than 8 metres.
This figure describes the minimum distance after a reflective event before the OTDR can reliably resume attenuation analysis under the specified test conditions.
Together, the short event and attenuation dead zones make the FMS2 well suited to access and short-to-medium-distance fibre networks.
The FMS2 features a 3.5-inch TFT colour touch screen with an 800 × 480 resolution.
The touchscreen interface allows technicians to navigate the tester and review OTDR traces directly from the handheld instrument.
The compact screen helps keep the tester small and portable while still providing a clear interface for field work.
Different fibre lengths and testing conditions require different OTDR pulse widths.
The FMS2 provides:
Shorter pulses can improve event resolution on short links, while longer pulses can provide additional reach for longer fibre routes.
Therefore, technicians can adjust the pulse width according to the network under test.
The FMS2 provides up to 64,000 sampling points.
Additional measurement specifications include:
| Measurement | Specification |
|---|---|
| Sampling Resolution | 25 cm to 8 m |
| Loss Resolution | 0.001 dB |
| Range Resolution | 0.001 m |
| Linearity | 0.2 dB/dB |
| Reflection Accuracy | ±3 dB |
| Refractive Index | 1.0000–2.0000 |
These settings allow technicians to configure the OTDR according to the characteristics of the fibre link being tested.
The FMS2 supports testing of:
This makes the tester suitable for many modern telecommunications, FTTH and building fibre installations.
G.657 fibre has become particularly common in access and building environments where tighter bend performance provides installation advantages.
The FMS2 includes an integrated Optical Power Meter (OPM).
Available power measurement ranges include:
This gives technicians the ability to perform optical power checks without carrying a separate handheld power meter.
The appropriate measurement range should match the optical power expected from the system under test.
The FMS2 includes a 10 mW Visual Fault Locator.
The VFL supports:
A Visual Fault Locator sends visible red light into the fibre and can assist technicians with:
A VFL does not replace OTDR or optical loss testing. Instead, it provides a quick visual troubleshooting method for suitable links.
The FMS2 also incorporates an optical laser source.
The source provides:
When used with a compatible optical power meter and the appropriate testing procedure, a laser source can support fibre loss measurement and network testing.
The FMS2 extends beyond fibre testing with an integrated RJ45 cable testing function.
The tester supports:
This can make the FMS2 particularly useful for technicians who work across both fibre optic and copper Ethernet infrastructure.
Instead of carrying a basic separate RJ45 wire-map tester for initial checks, technicians can perform suitable copper cable tests directly from the multifunction unit.
For more comprehensive copper testing, explore the fibreSales range of Cable Testers.
The FMS2 saves OTDR results using the industry-standard .SOR file format.
This allows technicians to retain OTDR trace information for:
The tester can store more than 1,000 test files and supports external SD storage.
A USB Type-C interface provides modern data connectivity for the handheld tester.
This supports convenient transfer and management of stored test results.
For technicians who produce project documentation, retaining OTDR traces provides an important performance record of the fibre network at installation or commissioning.
The FMS2 uses a 3.7 V / 4000 mAh lithium battery.
The portable battery-powered design allows technicians to perform testing away from mains power.
This makes the tester practical for:
The FMS2 measures approximately:
170 × 120 × 30 mm
and weighs approximately:
0.34 kg including the battery
Its compact size makes it easy to carry with other fibre installation and testing equipment.
For technicians moving between multiple test locations throughout the day, a multifunction instrument can also reduce the amount of separate equipment required in the field kit.

The FMS2 suits technicians working across:
FTTH networks often contain shorter fibre runs, splitters, connectors and multiple termination points.
A compact tester with short dead zones can provide a practical troubleshooting tool for these environments.
The FMS2 gives technicians access to OTDR analysis, VFL functionality, optical power measurement and a laser source within one handheld tester.
Therefore, technicians can carry out several common fibre testing tasks without changing instruments.
The built-in OTDR and Optical Power Meter serve different purposes.
| Function | Primary Use |
|---|---|
| OTDR | Locates and analyses events along a fibre |
| Optical Power Meter | Measures received optical power |
| Laser Source | Provides a known optical source for compatible testing |
| VFL | Visually identifies continuity and physical faults |
| RJ45 Tester | Checks copper cable sequence and alignment |
A professional fibre testing workflow may use several of these functions depending on the project requirements.
Connector contamination can affect fibre test results.
Therefore, inspect and clean connectors before connecting sensitive test equipment wherever appropriate.
