AWARDS 2022
NEW PRODUCT OF THE YEAR
WINNER: Fluke Networks - FiberLert
RUNNER-UP: Trend Networks - LanTEK IV-S
The FiberLert from Fluke Networks is an elegantly simple and eminently safe testing solution that is designed to detect active fibre signals,
allowing it to be used to troubleshoot switch and host ports, transceivers, cables and polarity. It detects active signals in single-mode and
multimode fibre with an infrared range of 850nm to 1625nm and can be used for ports and patch cords, SM, MM, UPC and APC
connections. The FiberLert takes all the guesswork out of troubleshooting fibre activity, polarity and connectivity. It's very affordable and we
found it so simple to use - right-thinking network engineers won't leave home without it.
