Key Features

Interchangeable connector adpators

Use a single tester for: SC, LC, MPO, FC, HFBR, & other connectors - including universal & duplex options.

Test tone with multi-fiber ID

Send & identify one of 12 unique test tones. Great for quickly verifying continuity, polarity and rack labelling.

One-touch AutoTest

Smart communication makes sure you always get a full, complete, and consistent test result.

Zero warm-up laser (KI2300, KI2400, KI23400 only)

Instant high-accuracy testing. Unlike other sources, Zero Warm-Up sources are in-spec & stabilized in seconds.

Metal-free connectors

To avoid metal dust fragments damaging your tester and fiber-ends, we use high-end metal-free connectors.

ILAC/NATA ISO/IEC 17025 optical calibration

Internationally recognised traceable optical calibration to ISO/IEC 17025

Genuine 3 year calibration validity

Genuine 3 Year optical power meter re-calibration validity

VisiTest option

Integrates a VFL into AutoTest, so the fiber end you need to test flashes red. Confidence with a quick & easy visual cue.

Multimode test standard compliance

Kingfisher LED sources meet Encircled Flux and CPR requirements straight out of the box.

Runs on Alkaline Batteries

SC / LC duplex support

Use our universal interchangeable connector options for duplex testing.

Legendary source stability

In real-world field conditions, Kingfisher's stable and accurate sources outshine the competition.
