The Viavi 2330/24 MPO Multimode Loss Kit with PCM (850/1300 nm) is an optical loss test set that can perform all the test requirements for Tier 1 (Basic) certification using MPO fiber connectivity. The MPOLx provides a source and power meter that integrate essential MPO test capabilities together to ensure a fast and reliable workflow when testing and certifying network links with native MPO connectivity.

With the MPOLx, field technicians can perform all the necessary test requirements for Tier 1 (Basic) certification in a single solution:

Measure MPO length

Measure optical loss

Check polarity

Inspect fiber end faces

Generate certification reports

Drive best test practices by integrating essential functions together with the MPOLx and help technicians finish jobs faster by optimizing their workflow.

Full Control and Visibility for Technicians

The MPOLx gives technicians the ability to achieve a completely new level of productivity for MPO testing and certification. Like all of our solutions for Tier 1 (Basic) fiber certification, identical local and remote units are provided to enable full visibility and control by performing tests from both the Light Source and Power Meter. All devices feature a 3.5 in. color touch screen and integrated inspection for both bulkhead and trunk connectors. The MPOLx allows a single technician to inspect MPO end faces and perform tests from either end of the connection, reducing walking back and forth between the two units.

Manage Individual Channel Selection for Specific Fibers in an MPO Connector

In many cases, like 40GBASE-SR4, not all 12 fibers are utilized. The MPOLx gives users the ability to select which specific fibers they want to perform pass/fail testing on, aligning their certification requirements to the applications they will be using.

Inspect All Fibers in an MPO Endface

Contaminated connectors are the number one cause for troubleshooting in optical networks. This problem has driven the industry and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to release IEC 61300-3-35, a global standard that establishes acceptance criteria for the quality and cleanliness of the fiber connector end face. This standard has been widely adopted and incorporated into other standards including both TIA-568 and ISO/IEC 11801.

Without the right tools, comparing fiber connectors to a standard or specification is difficult and time consuming; however these challenges are eliminated with SmartClass Fiber tools. Whether using an industry standard or customer-specific requirements, the 2330/24 MPO Multimode Loss Kit with PCM makes it easy.
