Tripp Lite Multi-Function Optical Fiber Cable Tester with Power Meter
Glass lines behave until a bend pinches the core or dirt clouds a ferrule. We build this handheld tester to help you trace breaks, read optical loss, and verify links before you close the rack door. It fits in a tool pouch and works across singlemode and multimode lines.
Price as the listing last showed it. Listings move, so the figure on the page you land on is the one that counts at checkout.

How this one is built
Visual fault locator
A bright visible beam shines right down the strand. Breaks, sharp bends, and cracked splices glow through the jacket in continuous or flashing modes so you can spot where the light leaks out along the tray.
Optical power meter
The integrated meter reads light levels across standard telecommunication wavelengths. You can gauge loss along a fresh pull or verify that an active transmitter is putting enough light into the link.
Built-in light source
A calibrated light source sends steady test signals across typical operational bands. Pair it with the meter to check end-to-end attenuation on dark strands before patching them into live switches.
Connector interface
The native terminal handles standard round connectors directly, with adapters available for push-pull square types and small form-factor plugs. You can patch straight into bulkheads without dragging extra adapter leads around.

These are the figures published for this unit. Where a number is missing here it was not printed on the listing, and we would rather leave the row out than fill it with a guess.
