Fluke Fiber Optic Meter
The Fluke FOM Fiber Optic Meter is a passive adapter that converts any digital multimeter with millivolt DC capability into a fibre optic power metre. It accurately measures optical cable system loss without requiring a standalone meter.Overview
The Fluke FOM Fiber Optic Meter is an innovative passive adapter that enables fibre optic power measurement using existing multimeter infrastructure. By connecting the FOM directly to any DMM with a millivolt DC function and 10 MΩ input impedance, technicians can quickly and accurately verify fibre optic cable system loss at a fraction of the cost of dedicated optical metres.
Key Features
- Passive adapter—no batteries or power supply required
- Compatible with any DMM with mV DC function and 10 MΩ input impedance
- Accurate fibre optic cable system loss measurement
- Cost-effective solution compared to standalone optical metres
- Lightweight and portable
- Light sources and patch cords sold separately

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a passive fiber optic meter adapter reduce the cost of fiber testing?
Rather than purchasing a dedicated fiber optic power meter, the FOM adapter converts your existing multimeter with DC millivolt measurement into a fiber optic power meter, leveraging equipment you likely already own.
What type of multimeter is compatible with the FOM adapter?
Any digital multimeter with DC millivolt (mV) measurement capability can be used with the FOM adapter; the adapter converts optical signal power into a DC voltage reading on your meter.
How does the FOM adapter help measure fiber optic cable system loss?
Connect the adapter to the far end of a fiber run receiving an optical signal from a light source, attach your multimeter to the adapter, and read the DC voltage output which corresponds to signal strength.
What is the advantage of measuring fiber cable system loss during installation?
Measuring signal loss identifies fiber damage, poor splices, and connector problems before the network goes live, preventing service disruptions and ensuring all cable segments meet performance specifications.
Can I use the FOM with both 850nm and 1300nm light sources?
Yes, the FOM is a passive adapter that works with any wavelength optical signal; pair it with 850nm or 1300nm light sources depending on your fiber type and testing requirements.
Who benefits most from this cost-effective fiber testing solution?
Network technicians installing small LANs, facility maintenance teams, IT professionals setting up fiber connections, and contractors performing occasional fiber work all appreciate the FOM's affordability.
What is the typical delivery time for the Fluke FOM to UAE and GCC customers?
Procure.ae supplies this fiber optic meter adapter across the UAE and GCC region. Contact Procure.ae for a quote and estimated delivery timeframe.
Are there any compatibility requirements before purchasing the FOM adapter?
Verify your multimeter has DC millivolt measurement capability; if it does, the FOM adapter will work. Contact Procure.ae to confirm compatibility with your specific meter model.
What does the Fluke FOM Fiber Optic Meter do?
The FOM is a passive adapter that converts any digital multimeter with DC millivolt capability into a fiber optic power meter, allowing you to measure optical signal strength without purchasing dedicated test equipment.
What measurement output does the FOM provide to a multimeter?
The FOM outputs a DC voltage signal proportional to the optical power received, which your multimeter displays in millivolts; the conversion ratio determines the actual optical power in dBm.
What warranty is provided with the Fluke FOM fiber optic meter adapter?
Fluke provides manufacturer warranty on the FOM passive adapter. Contact Procure.ae for specific warranty terms, coverage period, and available service options.
