SEPTEMBER 2, 2008 -- The Noyes OPM4-FTTx power meter with integrated visual fault locator is designed to measure downstream optical power at 1490 nm and 1550 nm simultaneously in PON networks.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2008 -- AFL Telecommunications (search for AFL Telecommunications) today announced the introduction of the Noyes OPM4-FTTx power meter with integrated visual fault locator (VFL).

According to the company, the device is designed to measure downstream optical power at 1490 nm and 1550 nm simultaneously in FTTx passive optical networks (PONs). Using the "set reference" feature, comparisons can be made between 1490-nm and 1550-nm power levels measured at different parts of the network.

The new power meter includes an integrated VFL for short-range fault location and connectivity testing. With a large dual-wavelength, backlit LCD display, the meter shows power at both wavelengths in units of dBm or μ W and remaining battery life, say AFL representatives.

Handheld, rugged, and light weight, the OPM4-FTTx is simpler to use, faster, and more accurate than traditional PON meters, claims the company, making it the perfect optical power meter for FTTx installation and repair technicians.
