Fiber optic communication systems have proven to be the network of choice for delivering expanded data, voice, and video services. There are a variety of tests and test equipment that are critical to helping maintain the integrity of the fiber optic network. Some of these tests identify fiber breakage over long-distance runs or within patch panel enclosures while other tests perform trace analysis and insertion loss measurements. Installation tests and periodic maintenance and troubleshooting tests must be performed to ensure quality of service.

Trilithic has entered the fiber optic market with eight products for power and loss testing, leak detection, and troubleshooting.

These instruments enhance technicians’ efficiency and the overall fiber system integrity with advanced tests, such as advanced structural analysis tests and accurate locating of breaks within the fiber. All of the instruments feature high measurement precision, versatile operation, and fast measurement response. They are also exceptionally rugged, weatherproof and portable, and they have a long battery life so they are ideal for testing in the field.
