Fluke Networks released its first tester in 1992 and stuck to what professionals expected of it -- a rugged, reliable, portable tester with advanced measurement capabilities. The company celebrated by offering discounts on 30 of its most popular fiber products to new and existing customers.
With the increasing demand for bandwidth, optical fiber cable is increasingly favored by innovative technologies and has become the core of today's data communication network. As network installations speed up, so does the need for fiber testing and certification. When installing or upgrading a fibre optic network, fibre certification testing according to TIA/EIA or ISO/IEC standards is the best way to prevent problems.
Strong, accurate, and easy to use, these fiber tools have always been the first choice for architects, network cable installers, technicians, and engineers.
The Fluke Fiber Tester enables network professionals to reduce the time it takes to determine the root cause of fiber problems, thereby making them more profitable. Contaminated connections remain the no. 1 cause of fiber-related failures in data centers, campuses, and other corporate or telecommunications network environments. These fiber testers measure fiber length and optical loss, provide instant pass or fail indication, resolve fiber connection problems or help check fiber wiring to locate contamination.
Redstone, the market leader in wiring infrastructure in the UK, upgraded its fleet from DTX to Versiv almost as soon as it became available and reported a significant increase in the efficiency of its installation and maintenance technicians. It was in 2013 that the company introduced a revolutionary product that reduces cabling installation and maintenance costs by 65% : the Versiv Cabling Certification system.
"ProjX is one of the best features that allows infrastructure installation teams to easily manage test lists," said Roger Stevenson, Director of services at Redstone at the time. "In addition, it shows our customers that we are investing in the best tool set to deliver their networks."
In recent years Versiv has been enhanced with CAT.8 measurement capabilities, HDR OTDR and MPO optical fiber detection cameras. Its future-oriented design supports copper certification, fiber loss, OTDR testing and fiber detection.
