Versatile network connectivity testing range helps engineers in the field

Conrad Business Supplies is to begin stocking an updated range of products from network testing specialist, Fluke Networks. Based around the popular LinkRunner and LinkSprinter hand-held network testers, the Link-Solutions range provides a cohesive way to conduct copper, fibre and Ethernet tests, while effectively managing their results. This expanded range will join over 80 products from Fluke Networks already stocked by Conrad and is targeted at PC and front-line technicians, field-managed IT teams, system integrators and value added resellers (VARs). The LinkRunner and LinkSprinter ranges of hand-held test devices provide different levels of testing capability and sophistication yet offer the same automated reporting features to deliver the results of every test carried out to the Link-Live cloud-based dashboard. This service provides clearer job visibility and product control so as to easily keep track of who is testing what, where and when. Furthermore, an e-mail and picture of every test result can be automatically sent so that engineers and technicians are able to promptly note down relevant results and data. Ideal for technicians of all levels of expertise, the LinkSprinter range is composed of three different testers, the 100, 200 and 300 models. All are capable of testing and validating network connections in less than ten seconds. This range offers a low cost solution to meet network connectivity and validation requirements, even in remote locations. The AT 1000 and AT 2000 testers of the LinkRunner range are suited to more sophisticated requirements. These are available from Conrad either individually or as part of the Link-Solutions Kit, which comprises two LinkSprinter 300 and one LinkRunner AT 2000 testers, alongside user accessories and a Link-Live starter pack. Commenting, Benedikt Sehr, product manager, category business supplies, said: “Offering unparalleled adaptability and value, the Link-Solutions range offers individual testers at a price that could permit the provision of one to each team member.”
