DESCRIPTION:

The VIAVI Multi-Fiber MPO Based Switch family is a high-capacity optical switching platform engineered to automate OTDR and FiberComplete PRO certification workflows across native MPO networks and high fibre count cable infrastructures. Designed for integration with VIAVI T-BERD/MTS-4000 V2 and OneAdvisor 800 platforms, the system significantly reduces manual intervention while improving testing consistency, certification speed, and reporting efficiency.

The platform is engineered for:

• High fibre count cable certification
• MPO network testing
• OTDR automation
• Bidirectional OTDR testing
• Bidirectional IL/ORL testing
• Data centre certification
• FTTH network deployment
• Access network testing
• DCI validation
• Fibre troubleshooting

The MPO switching architecture automates fibre sequencing and enables technicians to perform certification testing without manually reconnecting individual fibres. This eliminates fan-out cable complexity and dramatically reduces testing time on high-density fibre infrastructures.

The solution supports:

• OTDR 4100 Series modules
• FiberComplete PRO 4100B modules
• Smart Link Mapper (SLM)
• Cable-SLM workflows
• Enterprise-SLM workflows
• Automated report generation
• Automated result archiving
• Batch certification testing

allowing complete fibre certification projects to be executed through a single automated workflow.

For hyperscale data centres, DCI deployments, FTTH networks, FTTA installations, and C-RAN architectures, the MPO switch platform provides a scalable method of testing large fibre counts while maintaining repeatable certification procedures and reducing technician idle time.

The switching ecosystem is available in both embedded and external configurations, supporting automated testing from 12 fibres up to 192 fibres depending on deployment requirements.
