• High performance optical power meter for precision measurement on multi-mode and single-mode fibre optic links
• Modular design with user-pluggable detector modules to cover different ranges of input wavelengths
• Connector adapter provision for mating with widely used fibre-optic connectors such as SMA, FC and ST
• Wide wavelength range covered by each detector module
• Completely calibrated over entire input wavelength range
• Wide dynamic range : +3 to -60 dBm
• Absolute and relative Power measurements
• Readout in both dBm and mW/µW/nW (Auto ranging)
• Store and recall up to 10 values
• Hold facility for snapshot readings
• Highly accurate and stable operation (0.15dB) with high resolution (0.02dB)
• Analog electrical output available
• Choice of averaging speeds
• RS-232C interface (optional) for external control and data logging through PCs
