1. IntroductionThe FX80 power meter is designed to test passive optical networks (PON). It is used tosimultaneously measure all optical signal levels between the Optical Line Terminal (OLT) andthe Optical Network Unit/Terminal (ONU/ONT) on Gigabit B/E/GPON type networks. It can beconnected onto the PON network at any available access point along the Optical DistributionNetwork (ODN). The access point can be at the OLT (central office - CO, head end or sub-headend or remote hut), Fiber Distribution Point (FDP 1 or 2/splitter (if connectorized) or atthe ONU/ONT (customer premises - CP). Figure A typical passive optical network (PON) withpossible points of measurement shows a typical passive optical network (PON) with the threepossible locations for measurement].The unit passively monitors 1310, 1490 and the optional 1550 nm RF video downstream andupstream PON optical power levels for compliance to standards. The measurement resultscan be transfered to a PC or uploaded to the cloud using a Fiberizer Cloud account.The operator is assumed to have received basic training in fiber optics and related testingand measurement practices. FX80 PON power meters are configured at the time of manufacture according to customerrequirements. A single device can be configured with optional VFL or BB-OPM.1.1.
