OX-MPO-12 MPO Switch
OX-MPO-12 Multi-fiber Optical Switch
The OX-MPO-12 is an ultra-compact, multi-fiber optical switch designed to operate with VeEX OTDRs. Optimized for high-density fiber test applications where MPO/MTP cables need to be tested using an OTDR equipped with a single fiber output.
Key Features
- 12-fiber optical switch for MPO/MTP fiber cable characterization
- SC/APC input for OTDR connection
- Pinned MPO/APC output for MPO/MTP cable under test
- Protective dust caps for SC and MPO connectors
- Eliminates the requirement for multi-fiber break-out cables
- Powered/controlled over micro-USB interface by the OTDR
- Automated wizard procedure for patch-cord referencing
- Very fast boot-up time (<5 seconds)
- Rugged case design with impact resistant rubber bumpers
- Splash and dust resistant
Key Applications
- Data Center – Verify/troubleshoot structured cabling
- FTTH/Access Networks – Testing feeder cables between OLT and first splitter where MPO and/or ribbon fibers are used
- Wireless Fronthaul (FTTA/C-RAN) – testing MPO fiber links and connections in Base Band Unit (BBU)
