New Battery Pack for Fluke Networks’ Terminator Far End Devices Extends Battery Life More Than 10-Fold

New Accessory Adds Substantial Operating Capacity, Increasing Productive Work Time for Field Technicians and Virtually Eliminating Downtime Due to Dead Batteries

Fluke Networks, provider of innovative Network SuperVision Solutions™ for the testing, monitoring and analysis of enterprise and telecommunications networks, today announced the availability of a new battery pack accessory for its line of Terminator Far End Devices.

The TN-XBP Battery Pack expands the operating capacity of the TN2000 and TN2100 Far End Devices by more than 1000% at normal temperatures (25°C, 77°F), providing more than 35 days of testing capacity. At -20°C (-4°F) the new battery pack increases product usage by over than 200%, allowing more than 4 days of copper loop testing. The new accessory battery pack can virtually eliminate lost productivity due to dead batteries at remote job sites.

Terminator Far End Devices are typically used with a CopperPro Test Set for circuit qualification, triple play test and/or conformance test applications to verify facility integrity, circuit loss and noise for a variety of broadband services. The CopperPro and Terminator combination permits complete two-ended testing without the need for an assistant to coordinate actions from the far end. The TN-XBP Battery Pack was designed to ensure this level of productivity, even under adverse environmental conditions. The new battery pack disconnects the Terminator’s internal battery, allowing it to function as an additional back-up.

Product availability

The TN-XBP Battery Pack includes an insulated case to protect the batteries in low temperature conditions, a battery tray, six alkaline C cell batteries and a fused power cable. It is available for immediate delivery from Fluke Networks’ sales outlets worldwide.
