Inspecting Multiple Fiber Ends
When you connect an MF-Ready probe to your smart device, you can view and inspect multiple fiber ends right
away. This type of inspection requires three captures. As soon as the third capture is performed, the analysis
process starts. If you only want to inspect a connector without testing polarity and continuity, ensure that the
MFS is turned off before proceeding. Otherwise, the light emitted by the MFS could be mistaken for dirt which
would result in an erroneous fail status.

In Live Video mode, tap the
Test Configuration
row.
The MFS allows you to test continuity and polarity (based on A, B, or C polarity types) on multifiber links
terminated with MPO connectors. Its design includes a cable management system that allows you to use a
patchcord as connector savers for the MPO connectors on the source.

Connect the APC connector of the
patchcord to the adapter.

If you are using a
patchcord having a
single connector, you
can connect it to any of
the two adapters. With
an MPO-24 split (Y)
patchcord, you must
connect each of its ends
to one of the adapters.
4
Open the dust cap and connect the DUT to the appropriate adapter according to the
connections you made in the previous step. If you have connected an MPO-24 split
patchcord, you will have to connect the DUT, in turn, to each of the two adapters.
5
Connect the other end of the DUT
to the removable nozzle of the
probe.
