New tool alert! The Fiber Optic Association released Version 1.0.1 of its LossCalc app for the iPhone®, iPad®, and iPod®. This app estimates the optical loss of a fiber optic link. This saves the installer time in determining whether or not test results are reasonable or are pass/fail. The app can also help link designers determine if communications equipment will operate over the link. This second version of the app fixes a bug in saving reports. You can download the app from iTunes® for free. The app enables users to calculate end-to-end link loss for single-mode and multimode links based on the length of the link, number of connections, and number of splices.
