Typically, 100 MPO connectors can be certified in less than 20 minutes, compared to an industry average of 4.3 hours (a 92% reduction).The final quality can be certified according to customer requirements, including IEC-61300-3-35.

This all-in-one stand-alone instrument includes a variety of features including autofocus, auto-pan / scroll, endface analysis, color touch screen, embedded data storage and Wi-Fi connectivity to mobile devices.
 
MPO Optical Switch Module
Viavi’s MPO optical switching module for the T-BERD / MTS-4000 platform offers an integrated and automated OTDR test solution for the characterization, certification and troubleshooting of fiber optic cables and MPO.

It provides T-BERD / MTS-4000 users with the MPO test functionality without investing in a new instrument.

This solution is compatible with CERTiFi, the cloud-based management platform for deploying tasks on Viavi’s MPO test instruments and managing test results.
