    Quickly verify fiber activity, polarity, and connectivity with the FiberLert™ Live Fiber Detector. Just place it 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. 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 and good battery, a timer shuts FiberLert™ off after five minutes of inactivity to extend battery life (2xAAA, included). The rugged design includes a convenient pocket clip and is backed by a two-year warranty.

Operating PrincipleFiberLert is a fiber light 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 InterfaceNon-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.

Product Highlights

Detects active fiber signals for testing ports, cables, and polarity.

  • Detects optical power in single-mode and multimode fiber wavelengths (near infrared range 850 nm to 1625 nm)
  • No setup or interpretation is needed – light and sound indicate the presence of an optical signal
  • “Noncontact” 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
