Exfo FPM-600 power meter
(Power Meter FPM-600)
What is a power meter?

First, we will get acquainted with the basic explanations about what a power meter is, then we will express the technical information about the Xfo FPM-600 power meter product. A power meter or OPM, which is an abbreviation of Optical power meter, is a device that measures the power of optical signals. Power meters are generally used to measure average power in optical fiber systems. Power meters are used to calculate power, energy, active power, and reactive power, RF. and voltage and current measurements are also used. Among other tools for measuring light power, we can refer to radiometers, photometers, laser power meters (it means photodiode sensors or thermal sensor lasers) and light meters or lux meters.

Components of Power Meter: Power meter

A power meter consists of a calibrated sensor and measuring amplifier and a display.

Calibrated sensor:

The sensor used in power meters consists of a photodiode to determine the appropriate range of the selected wavelength and to determine the selected power level.

screen :

The display screen used in power meters is used to display the measured optical power and the set wavelength. All power meters can follow calibration standards such as the NIST global standard. You can read more information about how the power meter and light source work in the article “What is a power meter” written and edited by the Fiber Optic Bank.

Description about FPM-600 Xfo power meter:

Xfo FTM-600 power meter is a very ideal tool for various parameters and system qualification. Thanks to the memory capacity of 1000 data items and converter software, it facilitates data management and has the ability to transfer data to PC via USB. FPM-600 power meter has There is a green/red LED indicator that gives you a pass or fail verdict based on the thresholds you define.

FTTx is a test solution

This FPM-600 power meter product is one of EXFO’s FTTx optical test product series. This test has the possibility to test passive optical networks (PON) in three main wavelengths (1310, 1490 and 1550 nm) in fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) networks according to the ITU-T G series. 983 and G.984 and IEEE 802.3ah standard.

Exfo FPM 600 power meter suitable for all types of networks

Xfo FPM-600 power meter is calibrated with more than 40 different wavelengths and is compatible with all types of networks (LAN, CWDM, high-speed DWDM, etc.). Exfo FPM-600 power meter enables the measurement wavelength defined by the user using the interpolation method between calibrated points. Use its Hold Min / Max Power function to measure system power bursts or fluctuations.

Exfo power meter FPM-600 is resistant and versatile

Exfo FTM-600 power meter, like all portable instruments of the Exfo brand, is made with high strength and high versatility. Exfo FTM 600 is designed for the most difficult test conditions. Uses dark environments. In addition, it is powered by a rechargeable battery.
