The AFL MFTP1-12-BAS is a package with the MFT tracer and MFP power meter. This is available with ASC, USC and ULC connectors, as well as in other package configurations. Please see below for more information.

Multi-Fiber network construction is time consuming, complicated, and often built by more than one contractor with mixed sets of documentation. However carefully the build-out is done, mistakes such as mislabeling can happen. How can the network operator have full confidence in their network continuity? AFL’s Multi-Fiber Identification System (or MFIS) can provide 100% multi-fiber network continuity assurance and senior management peace-of-mind. The MFIS test system is a simple user-friendly way to verify network construction quickly, correctly, and efficiently.

MFT - Multi-Fiber Tracer
The MFT is a single connector (MTP), twelve-fiber source. It is designed around 12 discrete laser sources (1550 nm single-mode) with an MTP fan-out connector. It is packaged in a light and sturdy case. Single button operation is designed to quickly sending signals down the network for MFI (Multi-Fiber Identifier) and MFP (Multi-Fiber Power Meter) to provide automatic fiber identification.

MFI - Multi-Fiber Identifier
The MFI is designed to detect the presence of digitally coded laser light in optical fiber ribbon as used in FTTx deployments. The unit is activated by inserting the ribbon under test into the clamp and pulling the trigger, located on the underside of the MFI. The LCD displays the fiber identification number.

MFI detects the digitally coded data bursts transmitted by the MFT when the MFI is clamped on the ribbon fiber under test.

MFP - Multi-Fiber Power Meter
The MFP is designed to detect the presence of digitally coded laser light emitted from the MFT while in Fiber ID mode. It is also designed to be used as a regular power meter.
