San Diego hit its highest ever recorded temperature this summer, the Southwest experienced what meteorologists have dubbed the “great 2017 heat wave,” and even New Jersey’s Newark airport broke its 1973 record with a sweltering 97 degrees. Unfortunately, experts predict that the expanse of hotter-than-average temperatures will continue to grow in August—from the West coast through the Plains and into parts of the Midwest and Southeast.

It seems like just yesterday we were talking about spring
cleaning, and now we’re moving into the dog days of summer. And
it’s hot.
San Diego hit its highest ever recorded temperature this summer,
the Southwest experienced what meteorologists have dubbed the
“great 2017 heat wave,” and even New Jersey’s Newark airport
broke its 1973 record with a sweltering 97 degrees. Unfortunately,
experts predict that the expanse of hotter-than-average
temperatures will continue to grow in August—from the West
coast through the Plains and into parts of the Midwest and
Southeast.
While you may not think that cable testing can keep you cool, rest
assured that Fluke Networks has your back with its Versiv family of
cable certification testers and LinkWare™ Live cloud-based
service.

When it comes to beating the heat, one of the great things about Versiv
certification testers is the record test times – almost three times as fast for Cat 6A and
four times as fast for fiber loss testing.
Not only does this let you get the job done faster, but the ability to upload results to the
cloud via LinkWare Live means you can head straight for the beach rather than delivering
results back to the office. Heck, you can even set your smartphone up as a hotspot and
upload results from your air-conditioned vehicle while you’re on your way.

With LinkWare Live, you can create test setups and
cable IDs remotely with browser-based ease – all from the
comfort of your air conditioned office. It’s a great way to
eliminate unnecessary time spent in the field, especially at
greenfield sites where the HVAC might not yet be up and
running.
And rather than wasting time searching for testers in the
heat, LinkWare Live let you track where your tester was last
synced and who used it.

Another great feature to help you stay cool is the built-in SmartLoop Assistant
available with the OptiFiber® Pro.
With SmartLoop, Tier 2 bidirectional testing can be achieved from the comfort of the cool
data center without having to move the OTDR to the other end. Simply send your junior
techcian out to the remote end to connect the loop, and SmartLoop will automatically
report the bidirectional average for the link.
And if you’re on your own, you can deploy multiple loops at the remote end to perform a
set of bidirectional tests without having to leave the near end in the coolness of the data
center.

While making your way to the job site through the
stifling heat is something you may not be able to avoid,
carrying less equipment and making one trip will certainly
ease the process.
With Versiv testers’ modular design that supports copper
certification, fiber optic loss, OTDR testing and fiber end-face
inspection, there’s no need to transport several different
testers to the job site. The DSX CableAnalyzer Series tester
can handle any twisted-pair cabling system whether it is a
Cat 5e, 6, 6A, 8 or Class FA, while CertiFiber Pro OLTS with
the OptiFiber Pro module merges Tier 1 and Tier 2 testing
and features a convenient quad module for testing both
singlemode and multimode fiber.

Other summer-time Versiv features that you may not have considered includes the testers’
rugged design with an easy-to-clean touchscreen. So, if you get sunscreen on your tester, just turn it off
and use a lint-free cloth moistened with water or mile detergent to wipe it right off.
And if you just can’t get cool while testing, the Micro USB port on Versiv testers is ideal for connecting
one of those little Micro USB fans. You can get one here at Amazon for just $6.99!
