Fluke Networks FiberLert-125 Non-Contact Live Fiber Detector
Fluke Networks FiberLert-125 Non-Contact Live Fiber Detector
The Fluke Networks® FiberLert-125 850nm to 1625nm Light Detector is used to verify fiber activity, check polarity and operation of single mode, multimode, UPC and APC patch cords and ports. Non-contact design makes it an effective tool for non-contaminating testing. With optical power detection range +3dBm to -30dBm, the FiberLert senses near infrared light emitted from fiber optic cabling. A steady red LED at the handle and an audible beeping indicate an active fiber. The tester features the LightBeat indicator (flashing LED) of powered-on condition and good battery, plus auto turn-off after five minutes of inactivity.
The rugged FiberLert-125 comes with a non-contact ceramic ferrule. It fits directly with 1.25 mm LC receptacles. Tethered ferrule adapter is for testing 1.25 mm ferrule patch cord. The unit also includes a pocket clip and 2x AAA batteries. Two-year warranty.
The easy, pocket-sized fiber troubleshooter
Quickly verify fiber activity, polarity, and connectivity with the FiberLert™ 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 LightBeat™ feature flashes the LED, indicating a powered-on condition andgood battery, a timer shuts FiberLert™ off after five minutes of inactivity to extend battery life (2xAAA, included). Rugged design includes a convenient pocket clip and is backed by a two-year warranty.
- 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 damage
- Suitable for ports and patch cords, SM, MM, UPC and APC connections
- LightBeat™ flashes to indicate operation and battery status; powers off after five minutes of inactivity to preserve battery life (2xAAA, included)
- Two-year warranty
