- Fully selectable testing up to 24 fibers (MPO-24 Switch)
- Characterize MPO-terminated links with FlexScan OTDRs
Automated Multi-Fiber Testing for Hyperscale Speed
The density demands of today’s networks are driving more demand for multi-fiber connectivity. In hyperscale data centers where MPO testing bottlenecks slow deployment, the MPO-24 Multi-Fiber Switch enables effective testing of 12 and 24-fiber MPO cables without breakout cables. Paired with the FlexScan FS200 SM OTDR, technicians configure the test set-up once, which streamlines and automates sequential testing across the entire array of fibers, no complex cable management, no manual switching.
The FlexScan FS200 SM OTDR with FleXpress mode plus a USB-controlled MPO switch provides the fastest multi-fiber OTDR test in the industry. For hyperscale operators managing thousands of MPO connections, this automated testing solution means lightning-fast validation cycles and zero deployment delays, keeping your network infrastructure ready for peak AI performance.
Two Switches. One Mission: Faster Validation
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/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.
