Psiber Data has announced the launch of an MPO parallel optics test solution for the WireXpert cable certification tester.

This versatile solution enables data centre IT managers to get quick and accurate assessment of the quality of MPO links.

Additionally, it helps in performing incoming inspection of MPO components like cassettes. The key feature of this solution is a 5-second Autotest that includes a detection of fiber connection map and measurement of loss on each channel. It supports MPO polarity methods A, B, C and even non-standard multi-mode parallel optic links.

The ability to configure active fibres enables testing of customised parallel optic links such as 8-fibre MPO links. Another unique feature of this solution is the ability to test breakout links from MPO end to SC/LC end.

This is possible due to interoperability between the MPO source adapter and the multimode fiber adapter of the WireXpert. MPO testing is fully integrated into the WireXpert, including settings, data storage, and test reporting. The MPO testing kit consists of MPO/MTP light source adapter and MPO/MTP power meter adapter.

“Whether you are testing newly installed MPO links, aggregation links, or even performing incoming testing of MPO components like cassettes, the WireXpert provides an accurate and efficient solution.

“By combining all testing needs in one instrument, it gives you cost saving and convenience,” says a Psiber Data representative.

MPO Testing Kit for WireXpert is available for ordering immediately and shipment is expected in April 2013.
