Copper and Fiber Technician's Kit (CIQ-FTKSFP)
Consisting of the CableIQ (CIQ-KIT) and the SimpliFiber Pro Basic Verification Kit (FTK1000), Fluke Networks' Copper and Fiber Technician's Kit provides a robust combination of tools to help you expertly manage your network to it keep it running smoothly and inexpensively. Simple to use straight from the box, you can do everything from quickly troubleshooting and qualifying cabling link bandwidth to verifying optical fiber power and loss.
Fiber Inspection
The FI-500 FiberInspector Micro fills the gap between a manual scope and a fully automated inspection scope. The FI-500 has the simplicity and practicality of a manual inspection scope, but with advanced features to reduce troubleshooting and inspection time. The built-in PortBright flashlight helps you find the right port or cable. The small-profile probe fits into tight spots, and features pushbutton controls for simple operation. Autofocus provides a sharp view of the end face in a few seconds, while the pause button freezes the image and automatically centers the fiber ferrule on the crisp 320 x 240 display for more detailed inspection
Fiber Cleaning
An important addition to your verification, troubleshooting, and inspection tasks is fiber cleaning. Dirt, dust, and other contaminants are the enemy of high-speed data transmission over optical fiber. Today's network applications require more bandwidth, making loss budgets tighter than ever. All optical connections must be clean and free of contaminants to ensure application success.
Fluke Networks Fiber Optic Cleaning Kits have the best tools to effectively remove the toughest contaminants with ease.

Results Management
Manage fiber test results with LinkWare Cable Test Management Software.
Fluke Networks' powerful LinkWare software helps you quickly organize, edit, view, print, save, or archive test results by job site, customer, campus building, and more. You can merge test results into an existing database and then sort, search, and organize by any number of data fields or parameters.
LinkWare is available free from our website. As a contractor, once your work is done, you can give this powerful application to your customers so they can have instant access to the data electronically or you can export the data as an Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF).
Extensive data management capabilities with LinkWare:
- Manage copper and fiber test results with a single software application that supports Fluke Networks' entire line of cable testers
- Deliver professional, customized, graphic reports in a common format for all Fluke Networks cable testers
- Ensure standards compliance with the ability to configure and print TIA 606-A documentation
- The new drag-and-drop feature makes it easier to manage and organize multiple projects
- Count on compatibility with major CMS (cable management software) applications
- Increase productivity with a simple user interface and time-saving features with LinkWare, the world's preferred cable test management software
LinkWare prints professional, graphical reports with color graphs depicting the measured test parameters. You can choose which parameters to print and the order in which graphs appear. Reports can also be customized with your company logo.
LinkWare Stats provides a graphical analysis of your entire cable plant
LinkWare now supports LinkWare Stats, an automated statistical report option that allows you to move above and beyond the page-per-link report and see your entire cabling infrastructure. It analyzes and transforms LinkWare cable test data into graphics that reveal your cabling plant performance-summarizing your entire cabling infrastructure in a compact, graphical format that makes it easy to verify margins and spot anomalies. The laser-powered VisiFault™ Visual Fault Locator verifies continuity and polarity, and helps find breaks and bends in cables, and locates problems in connectors and splices. VisiFault emits a bright beam of red light easily visible from a distance. Connect the VisiFault to one end of a fiber - then locate that fiber at the other end, even if it is one of many fibers either in a cable or terminated in a rack. Perform simple end-to-end continuity checks.
VisiFault can quickly illuminate fiber breaks, damaged connectors on patch cords, defective splices in splice trays, and tight fiber bends in and around equipment racks. The choice of a continuous wave output mode for steady fault illumination or a flashing output mode makes for an easier fault location.
The integrated universal 2.5 mm adapter makes for easy connection to SC, ST, FC, and FJ connectors. The optional 1.25 mm adapter allows for connection to LC and MU connectors. Attach the VisiFault to your belt using a lanyard or in the carrying case so it is always on hand when you need it. Long battery life for hours of use, includes two AA batteries giving you more than 80 hours of continuous mode battery life.
Fluke Networks built the VisiFault to last.
VisiFault incorporates an energy-absorbing holster over an impact-resistant case to withstand drops, impacts, and rough treatment. Together with a heavy-duty tethered end cap to protect the fiber adapter, VisiFault is the VFL for demanding field applications. Unlike more fragile VFLs that utilize a flashlight body or plain plastic case, Fluke Networks engineered the VisiFault custom case to be compact, ergonomic, and mechanically tough for field use.
