The AFL FlowScout MPO OLTS is the market’s first truly 16-fiber Tier 1 OLTS tester for insertion loss measurement and certification of multi-fiber (MPO/MTP) and duplex connectors. A single kit certifies fiber networks in data centers, hyperscale environments and LAN networks — testing 16 fibers in as little as 6 seconds per port.
The AFL FlowScout MPO OLTS is the market’s first truly 16-fiber Tier 1 OLTS tester, designed for hyperscale networks and high fiber-density installations. It supports single-mode fiber measurement on all multi-fiber (MPO/MTP) and duplex connectors, dramatically reducing certification time while maintaining full compliance with industry standards.
When every second counts, the FlowScout MPO OLTS delivers unmatched speed and ease of use for fiber certification in data centers and hyperscale networks. It enables testing and certification of MPO links in seconds instead of minutes, thanks to automated procedures and a smartphone-like interface. Minimal setup and no room for error mean that even less experienced technicians achieve fast, accurate results for 12-, 24- and 48-fiber links.
Very fast testing: the FlowScout MPO OLTS kit cuts the test phase by up to half. A simplified workflow with fewer steps lets you test 16 fibers in as little as 6 seconds per port in a single pass.
Accurate results and simple operation: a design based on precise, highly accurate measurement technology ensures correct verification and validation of links. The intuitive, icon-based interface lets you quickly set up, test, verify and document the network. The device automatically evaluates the pass/fail result against standards or user limits, and the large color touchscreen displays power levels with color-coded result indication.
All-in-one solution: the FlowScout MPO OLTS is a pair of handheld testers supporting both natively multi-fiber and duplex connectors within a single kit. The integrated duplex tester provides the same workflow for duplex links — with no separate hardware and no need to learn a new procedure. One tester acts as the light source, the other as the optical power meter.
One reporting platform: pass/fail results are stored in internal memory and retrieved via Bluetooth or USB. Using the free AFL FlexApp (iOS/Android), results can be wirelessly transferred to the AFL FlexReporter™ cloud for analysis, editing and report generation in FlexReports PC software.
