Optical Power Meter (OPM) features


Applies to

FTBx-700 and MAX-700 series OTDR in-line Optical Power Meters (OPM)

Information

The in-line Optical Power Meter (OPM) is a feature included in the optical configuration of some OTDR instruments that allows absolute power measurements of various wavelengths to be performed during live acquisitions.

OPM2 is an enhancement of OPM and provides in-line optical power measurements separated into the following two modes:

FTTx/PON

Both single- and dual-band power measurements at wavelengths commonly used during service activation and/or fault investigation of various ITU-T G.98** Passive Optical Network (PON) configurations, along with an additional 'Detect PON' option for categorizing individual PON service wavelengths:

Center Wavelength / Option Wavelength Set/s Optical Configuration/s
1490nm FTTx / PON SM4, SM*
1550nm FTTx / PON SM3, SM4, SM*
1577nm FTTx / PON SM*
1490 + 1550nm (dual-band) FTTx / PON SM4, SM*
1490 + 1577nm (dual-band) FTTx / PON SM4, SM*
Detect PON FTTx / PON SM*

Note: For full details of wavelengths associated with specific optical configurations, always consult the appropriate instrument Specification Sheet.

Broadband

Single-band power measurements at the following Broadband / ITU-T G.694 CWDM, ITU-T G.98** FTTx / PON and ITU-T L.41 Maintenance subsets for single wavelength systems:

Center Wavelength Wavelength Set/s Optical Configuration/s
1310nm Broadband/CWDM, FTTx/PON SM*
1490nm Broadband/CWDM, FTTx/PON SM4, SM*
1550nm Broadband/CWDM, FTTx/PON SM3, SM4, SM*
1577nm FTTx/PON SM*
1625nm Maintenance SM2, SM3
1650nm Maintenance SM7, SM8

Note: For full details of wavelengths associated with specific optical configurations, always consult the appropriate instrument Specification Sheet.
