MPO-24 and MFS Switches
Efficiently tests multi-fiber links!
The density demands of today’s networks are driving more demand for multi-fiber connectivity. As the adoption of multi-fiber connectors becomes more prevalent in data centers, the ability to test these types of connections accurately and quickly has become even more critical.
AFL’s MPO-24 Switch enables OTDR- testing of MPO-24/MTP®-terminated cables, as well as MPO-16, MPO-12 and MPO-8 terminated cables with the appropriate launch rings. The MPO-24 optical fiber switch allows users to verify some or all fibers in a multi-fiber connector in a single test, saving both time and money by automating the scanning process without the need to manually plug and unplug each fiber. AFL’s MPO-24 Switch is compatible with AFLs FlexScan FS200 and FS300 series OTDRs and can be ordered as part of a kit, or as an add-on kit for those with FS200/FS300 series OTDRs.
AFL's Multi-Fiber Switch (MFS) enables the testing of 12-fiber cables without the need to use a breakout cable. The switch allows users to utilize a single piece of test equipment to seamlessly cycle through all of the fibers in a connector regardless of polarity without having to disconnect and reconnect your test equipment. MFS Switch is compatible with your existing FlexScan FS300/FS200 OTDRs.
