The Power Meter is mainly used for checking the signal output power of the optical communication equipment in fiber optic networks. It measures the average power of a continuous light beam which is emitted from the equipment or other optic sources. It measures power both in 850 nm (Multimode) / 1310 nm / 1550 nm (Singlemode) and 1310 nm / 1490 nm / 1550 nm (Singlemode) respectively.

The Power Meter consists of a solid state InGaAs photo diode, signal power measurement circuitry, and a 3 Digits LED display. Users just connect a fiber cable between the transmission port of the equipment and the universal interface on the Power Meter or connect to other light source. The product will show the exact amount of the received power (in – xx.x dBm).

The universal connector can be used for all the most common fiber interfaces such as ST / SC / FC and it is suitable to test both Singlemode and Multimode cables. With an optical 2.5 mm to 1.25 mm adapter, users can even test for 1.25 mm fiber interface.
