Power Sources
The PON Power Meter operates with the following power sources:
USB Type-C connector (connected to standard USB port on a computer
or USB charger—indoor use only).
Rechargeable internal Lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery. Charging time is
quickest when you use the provided cable and power supply or
equivalent.
Typical Applications
You can use your PON Power Meter in 3 modes:
FTTx Power mode: You can use your PPM-350D PON Power Meter
during service activation (at ONT) or to troubleshoot passive optical
networks (at ONT, drop terminal, fiber distribution hub, or CO). This
mode allows you to measure up to 4 wavelengths simultaneously,
depending on the configuration of the unit.
FTTx Loss mode (downstream only): You can also use your PPM-350D
in relative mode (dB) to measure the loss of a whole PON network or
only the drop cable by referencing power at a first location and
performing measurement in dB at a second location.
