VIAVI Solutions: DCX (Data Center Expert Tier 1 OLTS)

VIAVI's DCX transforms Tier 1 fiber certification for modern data centers by testing up to 24 fibers in under 2 seconds with a single setup, eliminating Y-cables and reducing technician touches. Native 24-fiber capability provides a one-cord reference for most connectivity, streamlining workflows and minimizing opportunities for error—critical in hyperscale environments where accuracy and repeatability drive profitability. Wizard-guided workflows standardize methods across mixed-experience teams, while integrated automation with VIAVI TPA and ReportPRO closes the loop from job creation to instant closeout, cutting administration time and accelerating revenue milestones. A modular adapter ecosystem supports MPO, MMC, VSFF, and duplex connectors, ensuring rapid deployment today—and flexibility as architectures evolve. 

Judge’s comment: “The use of MPO cables is increasing, and the ability to test them quickly is important.”
