Fluke Networks launches the first live fibre detector – FiberLert™
06 May 2022
Fluke, the global technology leader in the manufacture of compact, professional electronic test and measurement tools and software, has designed the world’s first live fibre detector called FiberLert™.
The one-handed tool allows anyone to perform basic tests on fibre and quickly identifies polarity issues and failed transceivers. The presence of near infra-red light is indicated by means of an audible sound and LED.
The FiberLert can detect invisible near-infrared (850-1625nm) wavelengths used in fibre-optic communication to troubleshoot cable, port, polarity and transceiver issues.
Designed for one-handed operation, the FiberLert is an easy-to-use troubleshooting tool that allows technicians and engineers to simply test for the presence of near infra-red light without the need for complicated setup or interpretation of the measurement data.
