LC Fiber Tester

[MasterofNone]

Anybody currently using LC fiber? If so what tester are you using.

My client is currently coming into the 21st Century (switches were previously linked by cat5e) and need to suggest a new fiber tester. Currently have a fiber tester, but unfortunately doesn't have an adapter for LC.

Main priority will be to test continuity, but full fiber tester would be nice. Reasonable price would be nice. Obviously I will look at fluke, but any other manufactourer would be nice. Failing that which fluke would you suggest

If you just want to be able to test LC connectors, just get hybrid patch cord LC-to-whatever you tester is (SC/ST). No need for a new tester.
If your current tester is only a single strand, there are simplex LC connectors as well that will do the job.
