Even the highest quality test equipment can only perform as well as the reference cables it is used with. It can be simple to overlook the importance of the cable quality relative to the major cost of the test equipment, but customers can find themselves spending countless hours troubleshooting issues only for low quality cables to be the cause. Low quality cables can compromise the accuracy, repeatability, and reliability of test results. For this reason, OptoTest offers High Performance Reference (HPR) Cables to use alongside your test equipment.

OptoTest is proud to announce the release of new features for the OPL-CLX Software Suite. Since its release, OPL-CLX has improved the already industry-leading Insertion Loss and Return Loss testing experience for customers around the world. Now, multifiber testing in OPL-CLX goes one step further through the introduction of a Polarity Module designed to work alongside the OP415 Polarity Analyzer. Using the new Polarity Module, operators can verify polarity of multifiber DUTs prior to a full IL and RL test. Verifying polarity early in the testing process helps to identify problems more efficiently, saving time and production costs.

OptoTest introduces a 24-fiber variant of the MTP®/MPO High Performance Reference Cables (HPR). Like its 12-fiber counterpart and the simplex version, the 24-fiber HPR cable is designed to maximize the accuracy and repeatability of insertion loss and return loss measurements.

In order to obtain the best results possible, both your test equipment and reference cables must be of the highest quality. For this reason, both HPR MTP®/MPO and HPR Simplex cables are manufactured to exceed the FOTP171A (A2.2.1) performance standard as well as the MTP®/MPO-specific IEC 61755-3-31 interferometry standards. Every HPR cable ships with an interferometry report and IL/RL test report so you know exactly what performance to expect.
