EXFO EXFO PPM1 - Service activation PON power meter

NEXT-GENERATION PON SERVICE ACTIVATION

Next-generation passive optical networks (PONs) will, in most cases, leverage existing outdoor plant infrastructure already in use for PON customers. Adding new services on existing networks translates into overlaying multiple wavelengths on the same physical fiber plant.

A SINGLE POWER METER FOR 1G AND 10G NETWORKS

EXFO’s PPM1 is compatible with multiple services including GPON, EPON, XGS-PON and 10G-EPON technologies. Its PON-layer wavelength-selective design allows it to measure up to two downstream signals simultaneously, assessing power level for rapid and reliable service activation.

PON-AWARE TECHNOLOGY

By leveraging customizable or preset PON layer configurations, the PPM1 notifies the user and recommends the available PON layer for the network under test for proper pass/fail assessment, enabling error-free testing.

PRO MODEL: ALL-IN-ONE VERSATILE POWER METER

Mode for broadband

On top of the PON mode, the PPM1 PRO features a Broadband Power Meter mode calibrated at five wavelengths with the following capabilities when used in combination with an EXFO light source: auto-wavelength detection and switching, modulated tone detection, power and loss measurement.

Visual fault locator (VFL)

The PRO model includes a VFL that emits light in three different modes (continuous, slow blink and fast blink) to trace fibers and identify breaks and macrobends.

LOW COST OF OWNERSHIP

Designed for extended use in the field, the PPM1 delivers best-in-class optical performances—day in, day out. Backed by EXFO’s track record of device robustness and its IP54 design for water and dust protection, this tester is an extremely reliable and long‑lasting investment.
