Fiber Tools and Accessories
Overview
Professional tools are essential when performing installation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and verification of fiber optic networks. Proper testing in accordance with IEEE, TIA/EIA, or ISO/IEC standards verifies the fiber cable will support the intended technology and application.
To ensure optimal performance and reliability, it's absolutely crucial to verify the network using good quality test equipment. Inferior equipment or cheap tools which are "not-fit-for-purpose" will produce inaccurate or unreliable results, and this is frustrating for technicians and the network operator.
Adopting a "Fiber Testing Best Practice" approach using reliable equipment reduces costly truck-rolls, troubleshooting time, and unnecessary network downtime.
