MT Tracer (12-fiber VFI and Display)

Share Product Information

Product Overview

The MT Tracer is a compact multi-fiber Visual Fault Identifier (VFI) to verify MPO / MTP® fiber cable type (A, B, C), continuity and end-to-end polarity. The user simply connects the 12-fiber cable directly to the unit and views the results. Fibers can be tested individually or all at once. By progressing sequentially through the fibers, cables can be quickly checked for polarity by verifying the proper order at the output. Additionally, damaged fiber(s) are quickly identified with the MT Tracer saving trouble-shooting time when cables are put into service.
