Optical Loss Test Kit – Tier 1 Certifier

The MPOLx consists of an optical source (LS) and a power level meter (PM) with integrated MPO test functions. This provides a fast and reliable workflow for testing and certifying native network links with MPO ports.

This MPOLx measurement solution allows service technicians to perform all tests required for basic certification (Tier 1):

• Measurement of the MPO fiber length
• Measurement of the optical loss
• Control of polarity
• Visual inspection of the fiber end surfaces
• Preparation of certification reports

With the MPOLx and built-in base functions, you can promote best practices and help technicians complete their jobs faster through streamlined workflows.

Highlights

The MPOLx loss tester sets a new benchmark in labor productivity when testing and certifying MPO multi-fiber connectors. As with all Viavi basic certification (Tier 1) glass fiber solutions, one device is available for each fiber end. This ensures uninterrupted transparency and control, as tests are performed on both the optical source and the level meter. Both devices are equipped with a 3.5 "(8.89 cm) color touch screen and integrated test functions for line and chassis connectors. The MPOLx allows the technician to inspect the MPO end faces and perform the tests from both ends of the fiber. This considerably reduces the running distances between the measuring points.

     

Since the test results for all 12 fibers of the MPO connector are displayed in less than six seconds, the MPOLx loss tester ensures fast workmanship. For each MPO fiber, color coded good / bad results, test limits, fiber length, test wavelength, loss, reserve, and polarity are output.

Advantages

• Fast and reliable process for testing and certification
• Full transparency and control at the optical source and at the power level meter
