VIAVI OFM-500 Optical Fibre Mapping Software

A complete software application for the design, documentation, and maintenance of fiber optic outside/inside plant facilities

OFM-500 Optical Fiber Mapping Software addresses the state of the network directly from the desktop. This powerful automated mapping (AM), facilities management (FM), and geographic information system (GIS) software consolidates data entered manually or through other applications.
