fastest MPO inspection process on the market – less than 10 seconds for full inspection and saved results of an MPO-12 connector.accurate and repeatable testing every time.

Key benefits of the FIP-500 MPO probe include: While built with MPO testing in mind, the FIP-500 supports both single and multi-fiber connector testing.ġ NTT-Advanced Technology/Lightcounting DC Report 2015 The FIP-500 is the fastest solution on the market, with a high level of automation and best-in-class optical design delivering reliable and repeatable results every time. 'Without the right tools, it can be understandably tempting to skip the inspection step, and then 'plug and pray.' Technicians need fast, accurate and convenient fiber endface testing for the many hundreds of thousands of multi-fiber connectors embedded in networks worldwide.' Yet, fast multi-fiber push on (MPO) connector testing has never been effective,' said Stephane Chabot, EXFO's Vice President of Test and Measurement. Connectors are the weakest point, especially in dense and high-speed traffic scenarios, where a dirty connector can lead to serious network problems. 'Our goal in designing the FIP-500 was to solve pain points in increasingly high-speed networks. Multi-fiber links typically used to carry high-speed traffic are particularly sensitive to bad connectors. With multi-fiber connectors, a single connector failure can cause major outages.

Research 1 has shown that the #1 cause of network failures is contaminated connectors, and 80% of network operators reported having connector issues.

The ability to quickly and easily inspect connectors has never been more important as operators transition to 5G mobility and 400/800 Gbps networking.
