Fluke Networks introduces New Family of Certification Tools

To help data communications installers to get the system acceptance for copper and fiber jobs more accurately and quickly, a new family of Versiv Cable Certification Testers has been designed by Fluke Networks. This new platform offers interchangeable modules for copper, fiber and Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) testing, as well as new software innovations.

Jason Wilbur, Vice-President & General Manager, Datacom Cabling Instillation Business Unit, Fluke Networks, said, "When doing cabling installation and certification, the difference between having a job be profitable versus a loss, is often times just a few percentage points. For customers who need to improve their agility and reduce errors when working across multiple mediums, codes and projects, the Versiv family is razor focussed on helping them profitably manage the complexities that are now part of their new normal."

To combat the challenges such as cabling installation, Versiv has been built from the ground up to go beyond testing and troubleshooting to address the entire certification lifecycle. To address these complexities, the platform uses new ProjX management system.

The system helps to accelerate planning and set up projects by allowing technicians to capture consistent test parameters across an entire job, or switch from job to job by simply clicking between projects stored in the tester. The system also allows up-to-the-minute project analysis and oversight to help speed certification and reporting.

Versiv also features an intuitive and instructive touchscreen interface that elevates the capabilities of the less experienced installers, and increases the speed of testing and global ISO Level V testing compliance.
