Fluke Networks Rental Equipment

ATEC is the leading Fluke rental company, offering Fluke Networks testers at affordable rates. A division of Fluke Corporation, Fluke Networks is the premier manufacturer of copper & fiber cable verification, qualification, and certification tools. Fluke Networks testers serve technicians, contractors, and network engineers who maintain the world’s critical cabling infrastructure. Whether you need to certify a new cable system, locate faults in existing cable, or ensure your cable is operational after a fiber splice, ATEC is the go-to for Fluke tester rentals.

Companies worldwide rely on Fluke Networks’ easy-to-use test systems to evaluate their twisted pair copper cables, from Cat 5e to Cat 8 and up to 40 Gigabits. Fluke’s fiber certification tools are just as popular, with network technicians relying on the company’s fiber tester inventory to support the growing demand for enhanced bandwidth and high-quality fiber optic connections. Common applications for Fluke rental equipment range from new cable installation to troubleshooting faults, certifying cabling systems to test standards like Cat 5 – 8 and TIA, inspecting freshly-spliced fiber, and more. Top Fluke Networks testers include the DSX-5000, DSX-8000, OptiFiber Pro, and CertiFiber Pro.
 

Types of Network Tests

Fluke Networks manufactures equipment for all three major network test types: verification, qualification, and certification.
 

1. Verification Testing
   1. Verification testing is generally the first step in the cable testing life cycle, ensuring that the installation is set up correctly. A verification tool will determine whether the system is connected at the correct termination points, if proper wire pairing is maintained, and discover faults like split pairs.
2. Qualification Testing
   1. Qualification testing is performed throughout the cable life cycle, both after verification is complete and to troubleshoot issues that come up once the copper or fiber cables are up and running. Troubleshooting is the focus of a qualification test, and in particular the troubleshooting of ethernet connection quality and cabling bandwidth, discovering the faults that affect both characteristics.
3. Certification Testing
   1. Certification is the final step in the cable testing life cycle, which begins anew to either troubleshoot an issue or install a new system. A Fluke Networks tester designed for certification gives users a pass/fail response: does the cabling meet the test standards, or doesn’t it? Telecomm standards organizations that mandate these requirements include the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) in North America, and the International Organization for Standards, or ISO, in many other markets. A certification tool will indicate whether an installation complies with a class or category that is not based on network technologies—allowing for the cabling to remain relevant going into the future.

Choosing the Right Fluke Rental

ATEC carries a wide array of Fluke rental systems, including fiber optic testers, copper cable testers, OTDRs, fiber inspection devices, and more.
 

Fluke DSX CableAnalyzer
The DSX Series is designed to certify twisted-pair copper cabling for Cat 5e, 6, 6A, 8, and Class Fa and I/II ethernet deployments up to 40 Gigabits. DSX-5000 copper testers test up to Cat 6A, whereas the DSX-8000 goes up to Cat 8. DSX CableAnalyzer units replace the discontinued DTX-1800.

Fluke CertiFiber Pro OLTS
CertiFiber Pro units are optical loss test sets (OLTS) that empower operators to certify fiber cables quickly and efficiently. The CertiFiber can certify two fibers at two wavelengths in under just 3 seconds. Basic Tier 1 and extended Tier 2 testing are both possible with this test set.

Fluke OptiFiber Pro OTDR
The OptiFiber Pro is an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) used for troubleshooting FTTx, Enterprise, OSP, PON, and POLAN fiber. Single-mode, multimode, and quad-mode modules are available. The OptiFiber’s simple design and best-in-class features make it an ideal troubleshooter for both network engineers and cable technicians.

Fluke Versiv Cable Certifier Family
The Fluke Versiv cable certifier is a multi-use tool with modules for copper certification, fiber certification, OTDR testing and fiber end-face inspection. Fluke Versiv certifiers all feature a streamlined test management system, ProjX, and an intuitive Taptive user interface. LinkWare software allows operators to create sleek, in-depth test reports when it’s time for analysis.

Fluke FiberInspector
Fluke FiberInspector cameras perform fiber end-face inspection and integrate with the Versiv main unit for test management and reporting. The FI-3000 FiberInspector Ultra Camera generates a pass/fail certification result in seconds. The FI-7000 FiberInspector Pro takes inspection speed a step further by generating a pass/fail in a single second. Both Fluke tester rental systems offer total endface visibility and detailed indications of contamination, pits, chips, and scratches.
