Telecom Lead America: Fluke Networks, a provider of
network test and monitoring solutions to speed the deployment and improve the
performance of networks and applications, has announced the TS 54 TDR
telephone test set.
The company claims that its new test set is 62 percent
lighter and 20 percent more cost effective than other similar solutions on the
market.
The TS54 tester is part of Fluke Networks new line of
voice, data and video test sets, the TS Professional (PRO) Series, which also
includes the TS53 and TS23 testers.
The TS54 tester also passes a 20-foot concrete drop test
and includes an industry leading three-year warranty.
And with exponential growth in the use of
telecommunications networks driving the need to transmit voice, data, and video
seamlessly and reliably, the stakes are high. That is where the TS54 delivers.
It’s lighter, easy to use, and combines the most critical testing needs into a
single, durable, reliable test set that’s completely redesigned to help meet
that demand,” said Paul Alexander, marketing manager for field test equipment
at Fluke Networks.
The company said that its TS54 tester brings a full suite
of new capabilities into an integrated telephone test set, all of which are
essential to the ability to properly test today’s voice, video and data
telecommunications systems.
Whatever you want to call them: test sets or butt sets,
the integration of three test sets into one, plus the added protection of a
three year-warranty, allows us to offer our service provider partners with a
significant reduction in the total cost of ownership,” said Ed Sztuka, vice
president at Fluke Networks.
In addition to the integrated TDR, the TS54 features
open/short circuit detection to 3,000 ft., a built-in toner with five tones,
patented SmartTone functionality for exact pair identification, and glow in the
dark keys and backlit LCD screen.
