Tripp Lite Multi-Function Optical Fiber Cable Tester with Power Meter, Light Source and Visual Fault Locator

The Tripp Lite T020-001-PSF is a multi-function tester that checks the health and performance of optical fiber links while fitting easily into a field toolkit. It combines a power meter, a light source, and a visual fault locator in one handheld unit, giving technicians the essential measurements they need during installation, troubleshooting, or routine maintenance.

This tester verifies fiber runs up to 20 km, measuring insertion loss, optical power, and signal continuity. The built-in power meter reads six common wavelengths at 850, 1300, 1310, 1490, 1550, and 1625 nm, so it suits single-mode and multimode work. When you need to generate a stable signal, the integrated light source offers 1310 and 1550 nm output, and the visual fault locator provides selectable frequencies that help pinpoint breaks or bends you can see through the jacket.

An LCD screen presents clear numeric results that remain easy to read in wiring closets or on crowded job sites. The unit ships with FC connectors and accepts optional SC, ST, and LC adapters, allowing fast transitions between cable types without extra tools. Three included AA batteries power the tester; when they run low, recharge them through the USB Micro-B port instead of searching for replacements. An automatic shut-off conserves power between tasks, and a design that is compact and portable slips into the supplied carrying case for safe transport.

Fiber installers, data center staff, and telecom field crews will appreciate how quickly the T020-001-PSF confirms link integrity before service turn-up or after repairs. Campus network managers can keep it on hand for scheduled audits, while contractors who build metropolitan rings can carry it from site to site to guarantee consistent quality.
