Testing an ONT standard optical power meter
The basic process is straightforward: turn the meter on, set it to the correct wavelength, clean your connectors, plug in, and read the display. FOA "Quickstart Guides" are short, simple guides to basic fiber optic tests. An optical power meter measures the strength of light traveling through a fiber optic cable, giving you a reading in dBm (decibels relative to one milliwatt). To test transmitted power in sfp optical modules, you use an optical power meter to get exact results.
