The OP415 is a polarity analyzer designed to test the fiber mapping and output quality of MPO cables.
Optical Shuffle Polarity Testing
Optical Shuffle Testing with OP415 Polarity Analyzer How do you Find Flaws in Optical Systems with Multiple Signal Pathways? As the demand for more information in smaller form factors increases, optical shuffles emerge as a method for maximizing the efficiency of an optical network. Their ability to route signals in many different directions increases the complexity […]
Testing Insertion Loss and Return Loss of an MTP/MPO Cable in OPL-MAX
In this video we will go through the process of testing insertion loss and return loss of an MTP cable in OPL-MAX. We will review both the cable and software setup for the standard test configuration, as well as the test process.
Testing the Polarity of an 8×8 Shuffle System
In this video, we will test the polarity of an 8 by 8 shuffle system using the OP415 Polarity Analyzer and OPL-Max. For this test, we will use two OP415s to show how multiple units can be used to test complex systems.

TIA torn on OM5 connector color
The standardization of wide band multimode fiber leads to allocating a color designation similar to the OM2 orange or OM3/OM4 aqua. The widely accepted color within the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) has been lime green for the OM5 cable jacketing. However, it has been proposed that the connector for OM5 cabling should also be lime […]
