FCST FCST080127 MPO Portable Integrated Tester

$15,482.73

The FCST080127 is a compact, multi-functional handheld MPO test set designed for field technicians, network contractors, and data center engineers. Integrating an MPO light source, multi-channel power meter, general optical power meter, and visual fault locator (VFL), it streamlines the validation of high-density MPO fiber links.

  • Simultaneous Polarity & Loss Testing Evaluates both fiber attenuation and polarity configurations (Types A, B, C, and custom mappings) in a single workflow, eliminating the need for separate test procedures.

  • Native 12 & 24-Fiber MPO Capability Directly supports 24-core MPO connectors while maintaining full backward compatibility with standard 12-core MPO links.

  • Integrated 5-in-1 Optical Testing Suite Combines an MPO Light Source (OLS), MPO Optical Power Meter (OPM), standard single-fiber OPM (800–1700nm), 10mW Visual Fault Locator (VFL), and video end-face inspection capability into a single field unit.

  • Dual-Unit Remote Test Automation Allows two units to pair remotely across link distances, enabling fast, end-to-end bidirectional testing between patch panels or data center racks.

  • User-Defined Pass/Fail Thresholds Features customizable pass/fail criteria and automatic threshold evaluation, enabling operators to instantly verify compliance without manual reference checking.

  • Intuitive Touchscreen Interface Equipped with a 5.6-inch color TFT touchscreen for easy navigation, direct data entry, and clear visual pass/fail indicators in bright or low-light conditions.

  • Field-Ready Design & Long Battery Life Powered by a high-capacity 7.4V / 4000mAh rechargeable lithium battery with configurable auto-shutdown, housed in a portable 1.25 kg frame.

  • Data Center Infrastructure Maintenance: On-site verification of high-density MPO trunk cables, cassette modules, and patch panels.

  • Enterprise Fiber Optic Cabling: Installation and commission testing for 40G/100G/400G optical network links.

  • Telecom Central Office & Exchange Engineering: Fiber polarity checking and insertion loss measurement during backbone network deployments.

  • Educational & Research Labs: Practical fiber optic testing and multi-core fiber analysis.

Q1: Can the FCST080127 test both 12-fiber and 24-fiber MPO assemblies? 

A1: Yes. The tester is natively configured for 24-fiber MPO connectors and fully supports 12-fiber MPO link testing without requiring additional hardware adapters.

Q2: Does this tester measure insertion loss and verify polarity at the same time? 

A2: Yes. The device performs integrated loss measurements and polarity identification simultaneously, reducing overall test cycles per trunk cable.

Q3: How does two-unit remote testing work? 

A3: Two FCST080127 units can be paired across a long-distance link. One unit acts as the remote light source while the second measures power, enabling efficient bidirectional end-to-end link testing between distant patching locations.

Q4: Can I inspect connector end-faces for contamination with this instrument? 

A4: Yes. The unit features a USB interface that connects to an optional digital video inspection probe, allowing operators to check and document MPO ferrule cleanliness before testing.

Q5: Is it possible to define custom pass/fail criteria for specific project limits? 

A5: Yes. In addition to standard attenuation thresholds, operators can input custom pass/fail loss values directly into the menu interface for automated evaluation.
