Fiber Closure Manager vs MapYourOTDR

Fiber Splice Manager is an essential tool for fiber optic technicians and engineers. This app allows you to meticulously document and manage all your fiber splice connections within various cable types and closures. Keep track of individual fiber strands, map their connections across different loose tubes and cores, and ensure accurate record-keeping for every project. KEY FEATURES: • INTUITIVE SPLICE MAPPING: Easily visualize and record connections between individual fiber cores from different cables. • CLOSURE MANAGEMENT: Organize and track multiple cables, loose tubes, and cores within a fiber closure. • CUSTOMIZABLE CONNECTIONS: Select and connect specific cords as needed, providing flexibility for complex splicing scenarios. • PROFESSIONAL PDF REPORTS: Generate detailed, exportable PDF reports of all fiber connections, perfect for supervisors and project documentation. • LOSS BUDGET CALCULATION: Utilize built-in tools to calculate expected link loss and manage your fiber optic budgets. • LINK BUDGET CALCULATOR: Calculate transmitter power, receiver sensitivity, and maximum allowable loss for complete link analysis. • INDUSTRY-STANDARD COLOR COMPLIANCE: Ensures accurate representation of fiber and tube colors according to TIA-598-D and IEC 60304 standards. Whether you're working with single-mode or multimode fibers, this app provides all the tools you need to manage your fiber optic infrastructure efficiently and professionally. Perfect for field technicians, network installers, fiber optic engineers, and telecommunications professionals.

MapYourOTDR turns your iPhone or iPad into a full OTDR trace analyzer — read, interpret, and report on optical-fiber test data without the instrument's desktop software, and entirely offline. Open a Telcordia SR-4731 (.sor) file from any OTDR and get an interactive trace you can pinch-zoom, pan, and measure. Drop two markers to read the distance, loss, and attenuation across any span — the way you would on the instrument itself. WHAT IT DOES - Decode and plot .sor traces with full acquisition parameters - Automatic event classification — connectors, splices, gainers, ghosts, fiber end - A/B two-marker measurement: distance, 2-point loss, and dB/km - Link health score with a clear pass/fail verdict - ORL, section attenuation, uniformity, and a full loss-budget breakdown - Baseline comparison — overlay a commissioning trace and see exactly what changed - Bidirectional true splice loss — pair both directions and average out the backscatter bias (ITU-T G.650.3 method), with gainers resolved - Dual-wavelength macrobend detection — compare 1310 vs 1550 nm and flag bends that lose more at the longer wavelength - On-device PDF test reports, branded with your company and name - CSV export of the event table LEARN 23 illustrated, vendor-neutral topics covering dead zones, dynamic range, reflectance, ghosts, gainers, bidirectional testing, PON and splitter testing, multimode limits, OTDR variants, calibration, fiber types, and a field troubleshooting workflow. TOOLS Field calculators for distance, dead zone, reach from dynamic range, loss budget, optical-vs-route length, splitter loss, and averaging gain. SIMULATE Generate synthetic traces with seeded faults — connectors, splices, gainers, macrobends, ghost echoes — to practise reading them. PRIVACY No account, no tracking, no ads. Every trace is parsed, analyzed, and turned into a report on your device. Nothing is uploaded. Free to use: trace viewer, basic analysis, demo traces, the core simulator, and 7 LEARN topics. A one-time Pro unlock adds the full analysis engine, all 23 topics, every simulator fault, configurable thresholds, and PDF/CSV export. Built for fiber-optic field technicians and network engineers. Grounded in public standards — Telcordia SR-4731, ITU-T G.650.x / G.652 / G.657, IEC 61746, TIA-568.
