Features
Read full description

Fiber Master turns the fiber optic color code into fast drills you can run in the truck, on a lunch break, or between splices. Answer by physical color name, build instant recall of fibers, buffer tubes and ribbons, and watch your field rank climb. FIVE DRILL MODES Colour Rush: pick the right color for a fiber number. Fiber Finder: name the fiber number for a color. Tube Master: find the tube and position. Speed Splice: beat the clock. Daily Challenge: a new challenge every day. Every answer gives instant XP feedback, streak multipliers and an immediate next question. GHOST RACE AND BENCH RANK Race a replay of your own best run and a computed pacer line, then see your Bench Rank rating move. The rating measures your recall against the standard itself, not against invented opponents. CUSTOM COUNT LAB AND STRAND LOCATOR Set the cable you actually work: fiber count, fibers per tube or ribbon, loose tube or ribbon, binder groups. Drill that exact setup, or look up which binder, tube and position a fiber number lands in, including tracer-stripe tubes. FIELD RANKS AND BADGES Climb from Apprentice to Fiber Tech, Splicer, Journeyman, Senior Splicer and Fiber Master, and earn trade badges along the way. KNOW WHAT YOU ACTUALLY MISS Fiber Master tracks which colors you confuse with each other, so your next drills lean on the pairs that trip you up. LEARN THE STANDARD A built-in reference for the TIA-598 color code, buffer tubes, tracer bands and ribbons. The whole standard ships inside the app, so drills and lookups work with no signal, underground or up a pole. No account needed to play. An optional free account carries your rank and streak to another phone.
