Precision Fibre Diagnostics: Kingfisher Solutions at Contractor Essentials

Contractor Essentials is proud to supply Kingfisher International, a premier manufacturer of high-performance handheld fibre optic test equipment. Known for their "practical, productive, and profitable" design philosophy, Kingfisher tools are essential for technicians who need to certify, maintain, and troubleshoot fibre networks with absolute accuracy.

From innovative MPO cable verifiers to ultra-reliable pocket power meters, our Kingfisher range is engineered to simplify complex testing workflows in Telco, LAN/WAN, and FTTx environments.

Fibre Optic Test Kits & Power Meters

Kingfisher provides some of the industry's most versatile testing solutions, designed to work across single-mode (SM), multimode (MM), and plastic optical fibre (POF) networks.

• Optical Power Meters (OPM): Including the popular KI 9000 series shirt-pocket meters and specialised PON/GPON Power Meters. These units offer high accuracy, long battery life, and universal connector interfaces for maximum field flexibility.

• MPO/MTP Visual Cable Verifiers: Kingfisher’s unique KI-TK8 series provides an inexpensive yet powerful way to verify polarity and continuity in high-density MPO installations, saving hours of manual tracing.

• Optical Light Sources: Reliable, multi-wavelength sources that feature "Autotest" technology to automatically synchronise with Kingfisher power meters for error-free loss testing.

Inspection, Cleaning & Fault Finding

Network reliability starts with pristine connections. Kingfisher’s inspection and fault-finding tools help technicians maintain "Fibre Safe" standards across every link.

• FIBERSAFE Optical Microscopes: High-quality x200 and x400 magnification scopes for inspecting un-mated connectors, featuring integrated laser safety filters to protect the operator's eyes.

• Visual Fault Locators (VFL): Ruggedised VFL pens designed to identify breaks, micro-bends, and poor splices through the cable jacket with high-visibility red light.

• Inspection & Cleaning Kits: Comprehensive bundles (like the KI-TK1010) that include everything needed to clean and verify connector end-faces for SC, LC, FC, and ST interfaces.

The Professional’s Choice for Accurate Certification

At Contractor Essentials, we recommend Kingfisher for their dedication to precision and interchangeability. Most Kingfisher instruments feature an adaptable connector system, allowing you to switch between various connector styles on a single device. Combined with free reporting software, Kingfisher equipment provides the "proof of work" documentation your clients demand with minimal effort.
