OWL 12-fiber MPO Optical Switch
OWL MPO SWITCHES Turns any single-fiber tester such as OTDR and power meter into an MPO tester.
- Shuttered MPO port keeps dust out
- Wireless communication with Bluetooth enabled OWL power meters for automatic channel switching
- Manual channel switching for use with other single-fiber testers such as OTDR and power meter
- Multimode & Singlemode Options available
MPO OPTICAL SWITCHES allow single-fiber testers such as OTDR, power meter, light source, or VFL to easily test individual fibers in MPO trunk cables and patch cables without the need for bulky breakout cables or expensive cassettes.
MPO trunk cables are typically factory-terminated to customer specs, and thus can be especially costly. So it is good practice to test the MPO cable before AND after the cable is pulled to ensure that the expensive MPO trunk cable was: a) in good condition right from the factory; and b) not damaged during cable pulling.
The MPO testing process is easy and convenient. Simply connect the single-fiber device to the SC port, connect the 12-fiber MPO cable to the MPO port, select the MPO channel to be tested, then run the test. See our video below for examples of how using an MPO optical switch can benefit fiber optic professionals.
