Fluke Networks (NYSE:FTV) shares lost ground Tuesday. The Everette, Wash.-based company announced the launch of CertiFiber™ Max, the industry’s first third-generation optical loss test set (OLTS) designed to meet the growing demands of high-density data center environments.
Built on the trusted Versiv™ platform and integrated with LinkWare™, CertiFiber Max enables technicians to certify up to 24 fibers in under one second.
As fiber density increases and performance margins tighten; driven by AI, cloud, and next-generation digital infrastructure, contractors face mounting pressure to test and certify complex fiber systems quickly and accurately. Many existing tools struggle to keep pace, either limiting fiber counts or relying on fan-out cables and adapters that add time, complexity, and risk of error.
“CertiFiber Max addresses these challenges,” read this morning’s news release, “with delivering faster testing, greater accuracy, and long-term flexibility through field-replaceable UniPort™ adapters.
“These offer native support for 12, 16, and 24 multi-fiber push-ons (MPO) as well as 16 and 24 MMCs (very small form factor multi-fiber connectors), including both pinned and unpinned configurations as data center architectures continue to evolve.”
According to Chief Product Officer Vineet Thuvara, “As AI reshapes data centers and the digital infrastructure they depend on, the margin for error in fiber networks is diminishing.” .
FTV shares faded 43 cents to $54.53.
