EXFO PPM1-PRO PON Power Meter SC/APC

Next-generation passive optical networks (PONs) will, in most cases, leverage existing outdoor plant infrastructure already in use for PON customers. Adding new services on existing networks translates into overlaying multiple wavelengths on the same physical fiber plant. EXFOs PPM1 is compatible with multiple services including GPON, EPON, XGS-PON and 10G-EPON technologies. Its PON-layer wavelength-selective design allows it to measure up to two downstream signals simultaneously, assessing power level for rapid and reliable service activation. By leveraging customizable or preset PON layer configurations, the PPM1 notifies the user and recommends the available PON layer for the network under test for proper pass/fail assessment, enabling error-free testing. The PRO Model is an all in one versatile power meter. On top of the PON mode, the PPM1 PRO features a Broadband Power Meter mode calibrated at five wavelengths with the following capabilities when used in combination with an EXFO light source: auto-wavelength detection and switching, modulated tone detection, and power and loss measurement. The PRO model includes a VFL that emits light in three different modes (continuous, slow blink and fast blink) to trace fibers and identify breaks and macrobends.
