APC Passive Optical Network Power Meter for BPON/EPON/GPON (PON-55)

Optimize your PON deployments with this specialized power meter engineered for live testing on BPON, EPON, and GPON networks. With APC-terminated adapters and a rugged design, it delivers simultaneous upstream and downstream measurements, critical for FTTx turn-up and maintenance.

Key Features

• APC Connector Adapters: Includes both APC/FC and APC/SC adapters for direct connection to APC-terminated links
• Dual-Direction Testing: Concurrently measures 1310 nm upstream bursts and 1490/1550 nm downstream signals in voice, data, and video channels
• Quick Visual Pass/Fail: Three-color LED indicators let you instantly verify if power levels meet your configured thresholds
• Extensive Data Logging: Store up to 1,000 measurements onboard and export via the USB port for PC-based analysis and calibration
• Customizable Auto-Off: Enable or disable the 10-minute auto-shutdown to preserve battery life
• Durable Construction: Shatter-resistant rubber sleeve guards against drops and rough handling
