The newest generation of Voice, Data and Video test sets. Fluke Networks took the best features from its existing telephone test sets, added new technology and totally redesigned them to lighten your tool belt and wallet – a 62% weight reduction and a 20% cost reduction over existing products.

Test set, butt set, buttinski – no matter what you call them, telephone test sets are a standard among telephone linemen. For the past 100 years, a test set’s functionality hasn’t changed much. Times are changing, networks are changing and now butt sets are changing. No longer are they single-purpose tools but are evolving into full-fledged, multi-functional test sets. Enter Fluke Networks’ newest line of VDV (voice, data and video) telephone test sets. We’ve taken the best features from our existing line, added new technology and totally redesigned them to lighten up your tool belt.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) lists the following as a potential hazard, “loaded tool belts may weigh over 50 pounds causing an increased load and contact stress on the lower back and hips.” 1 OSHA also outlined possible solutions for the heavy tool belt, “When possible, reduce the weight of the tool belt by reducing the number of tools carried to those necessary for the task.” 2 Fluke Networks did just that. These newly designed test sets combine three tools into one; telephone test set, toner and Time Domain Re?ectometer (TDR) all in a durable, one-pound case.
