Introduction
The FX80 and FX81 optical power meters are designed to verify, troubleshoot and perform
service activation on next generation Passive Optical Networks (PON). The units feature a pass-
through mode to measure optical levels on various wavelengths being transmitted between the
Optical Line Terminal (OLT) and the Optical Network Unit/Terminal (ONU/ONT).
The FX80 supports GPON/EPON while the FX81 supports GPON/EPON including XG(S)-PON
and 10G-EPON. The units can be connected onto the PON network at any available access
point along the Optical Distribution Network (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 at the ONU/ONT (customer premises - CP). The figure in Section
Performing Optical Power Measurements in PON
shows a typical PON with the four possible
locations for measurement.
The FX80 and FX81 units passively measure signal levels to standards compliance:
•
GPON and EPON channels: 1490 and optional 1550 nm RF video downstream, and 1310 nm
upstream PON optical power levels.
(FX80 and FX81)
•
XG(S)-PON and 10G-EPON channels: 1270 nm upstream and 1577 downstream PON optical
power levels.
(FX81 only)
The measurement results can be transferred to a PC and/or Fiberizer™ Mobile Android, as well
as uploaded to a Fiberizer™ Cloud account.
Both FX80 and FX81 PON power meters can be configured with additional
options per customer requirements. The FX80 can be equipped with an optional
VFL or Broadband OPM. The FX81 can be configured with optional Broadband
OPM if RF Video measurement is not required.
