Fluke Networks has launched a new range of Versiv Data Centre Kits that are designed to keep data centres up and running by preventing copper and fibre network connectivity issues before they arise, and troubleshooting them quickly.

Fluke says at a time when artificial intelligence and data centre business is expected to more than double to £459.7 billion by 2030 these kits will equip data centre technicians, engineers and operators with the necessary future-ready equipment to maintain and manage the new
technologies of hyperscale and enterprise data centres coming online in the next decade.

Versiv kits enable users to maintain and troubleshoot high density connections in hyperscale and enterprise data centres, helping data travel faster and more reliably. These tools also prepare data centre technicians and engineers for the future of the industry, where larger facilities bring greater risks of fibre optic contamination and potential network failures.

Fluke says in hyperscale environments and sprawling data centre campuses where tens of thousands of fibre connections are in play, the margin for error is razor-thin, making proactive inspection and maintenance a mission-critical priority.

The range includes:

Fiber and Copper Commissioning and Troubleshooting Kit: This can verify and optimise copper and
fibre networks at every stage of a data centre’s lifecycle—from commissioning and go-live to moves, adds, upgrades, and troubleshooting—to ensure peak performance.

Fiber Inspection Kit: Stop fibre optic failures at their source by eliminating end-face
contamination, the #1 cause of performance issues.

MPO Maintenance and Troubleshooting Kit: Maximise data centre density and reduce multi-fibre
trunk testing time by 80% with a single button push.

In conjunction with the Kits launch, Fluke is also introducing accessories that support Very Small Form Factor (VSFF) connectors. These connectors enable data centres to increase connection density
while maintaining high performance.

The new accessories allow CertiFiber™ Pro Optical Loss Test Set users to conduct the recommended single-jumper reference method for testing MDC connections, inspect and clean MMC, MDC, and SN connectors, and follow best-practice fibre inspection practices to reduce contamination-related failures.

Nigel Hedges, Application and Technical Specialist, Fluke Networks, said: “With over 9,000 data centres worldwide and AI, cloud, and hyperscale technologies driving explosive growth, infrastructure teams are under unprecedented pressure.

“The new Versiv Data Center Kits are designed to help technicians and engineers meet that challenge head-on—equipping them with future-ready tools to prevent failures, speed up troubleshooting, and ensure high-density fibre connections are clean, tested, and reliable. These kits are about more than just tools—they’re about enabling uptime, performance, and long-term resilience in the data centres powering the next decade of innovation.”
