Preferred loss test equipment for SM or MM fiber with simplex & duplex connectors
In one hook-up, these instruments perform length & bi-directional pass/fail loss testing at two wavelengths. So, a fiber tested with these instruments can be used anywhere in a related network. They are also equipped with an optical power meter, VFL, and tone source / detection, so can perform absolute power, polarity & continuity testing.

Preferred cleaning / inspection equipment, all connector types
- AutoGet Wi-Fi automatic fiber inspection scope with pass/fail analysis.
- K-TK1010 inspection scope & cleaning materials kit.
- K-TK1012 MPO inspection scope & cleaning materials kit.
- KI-TK1013 cleaning materials kit.
Preferred polarity / continuity test equipment, all connector types
Any Kingfisher loss test equipment can perform continuity / polarity testing using test tones.
If multiple sources are available, they can perform polarity testing on 12 fibers at a time using MultiFiber ID.
Loss test instruments fitted with either a VFL or VisiTester can perform quick visual testing.
Alternatively a Visual Fault Locator pen KI6350 can be used.
For MPO connectors, refer to MPO Visual Cable Verifier (other MPO fiber counts available)
All Kingfisher visible lasers conform to current laser safety standards.

These inexpensive clean, inspect & test kits perform single-directional loss testing at two wavelengths on many types of connectors including MPO / LC / SC etc. They are equipped with an optical power meter, and tone source / detection, so can also perform absolute power, polarity & continuity testing on ribbon fiber connectors up to 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 72 fibers. These kits also include cleaning and inspection products. At a modest price point, they provide a modest level of automation and practicality for many users.
Instruments can be supplied individually, or kit contents adjusted to your exact needs.
