- Detects optical power in SM and MM fiber (850 to 1625 nm)
- No setup or interpretation – light and sound indicate signal
- “Non-contact” detector reduces risk of contamination and damage
- Suitable for ports and patch cords, SM, MM, UPC and APC
- LightBeat™ indicates operation and battery status
Just place in front of the fiber end face or port and a light and tone indicate an active fiber (850 nm to 1625 nm) - no setup or interpretation required.
- Single-mode
- Multimode
- UPC and APC patch cords
- Ports with a non-contact / non-contaminating detector
The LightBeat™ feature flashes the LED, indicating a powered-on condition and good battery and 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.
Specifications: Fluke Networks FiberLert™ Fiber Light Detector
- Operating Principle: FiberLert is a live fiber detector that senses near infrared light emitted from fiber optic cabling. A continuous red glow at the handle and an audible beeping noise (if not switched off) indicates the presence of near infrared light.
- Optical Interface: Non-contact ceramic ferrule. Fits directly with 1.25 mm LC receptacles. Tethered ferrule adapter for testing 1.25 mm ferrule patch cord. Supports single-mode, multimode, UPC and APC connectors and ports.
- Wavelength Detection: 850 nm to 1625 nm
- Optical Power Detection Range: +3 dBm to -30 dBm
- Light Detection: Visible steady red LED indicator when optical power is detected
- Lightbeat™ Indicator: Flashes twice every two seconds when unit is on and battery strength is sufficient.
- Battery Saver: Unit automatically turns off after five minutes of inactivity
- Batteries: 2 AAA alkaline batteries included
- Battery Life: Typically, greater than 1 year (5 hrs. of use a week)
