Would You Like To Play Around with a Live Fiber Optics Detector?

rscasny
rscasny over 2 years ago

We have 3 of Fluke's Fiber Optics Detectors in our office. Would you like one to play around with?

imageFor more information

Here's some info about the detector:

Quickly verify fiber activity, polarity, and connectivity with the FiberLertTm Live Fiber Detector. This pocket-sized tool tests single-mode, multimode, UPC and APC patch cords and ports with a non-contact / non contaminating detector.

The LightBeatTm feature flashes the LED, indicating a powered-on condition andgood battery, a timer shuts FiberLertTm off after five minutes of inactivity to extend battery life (2xAAA, included).

  • Detects optical power in single-mode and multimode fiber wavelengths (near infrared range 850 nm to 1625 nm)
  • No setup or interpretation needed – light and sound indicate presence of an optical signal
  • “Non contact” detector reduces the risk of contamination and damageSuitable for ports and patch cords, SM, MM, UPC and APC connections
  • LightBeatTm flashes to indicate operation and battery status; powers off after five minutes of inactivity to preserve battery life (2xAAA, included)

How do get in the running to receive this detector?

    Wow, this brings memories for me too. I worked briefly for Nortel and remember those switches. It took up an entire floor in a building, and I had the pleasure (or short straw : ) to occasionally configure…

    This is the first time I am knowing about fiber optic detector. I am familiar with fluke lux meter. But I never came across this one earlier.
