EXFO PPM-350C - PON Power Meter

Highly versatile handheld power meter that enables quick, on-site testing of all PON signals, anywhere on the network.

When FTTH was first deployed, EXFO was there to test it, namely by pioneering the concurrent upstream/downstream measurement technique via a pass-through connection. In fact, the EXFO-pioneered PPM-350 series, which quickly established itself as the clear-cut leader in the PON power meter market-over 21 000 units have been sold until now-has played an important part in major FTTH deployments world wide.

Since then, we have developed our instrument even more to provide you with the best PON power meter yet. The PPM-350C enables quick, on-site testing of all PON signals, anywhere on the network. Its new workflow management capabilities and enhanced ruggedness will increase the efficiency of your daily deployment activities.

Moreover, its visual fault locator port allows for easy fiber identification and macrobend location. This handheld unit also features pass/warning/fail LED indicators with user-defined thresholds.

Thanks to its enhanced weatherproof design and straightforward user interface, and building on the strength of its predecessor, the PPM-350B, the PPM-350C PON Power Meter establishes a new FTTx testing benchmark. It delivers fast, reliable results, even when used in cold, wet or windy conditions.

The unit's data storage capabilities provide ultimate flexibility. Transfer your data quickly and easily, store your test results for future reference and generate a wide range of FTTH reports. Moreover, the PPM-350C allows you to store up to 1000 test results, which are downloadable through its USB interface.

The PPM-350C acts as a pass-through device, allowing the concurrent measurement and simultaneous display of all PON signals-voice, data and video. This patented, built-in technology facilitates service activation testing and troubleshooting.

Whether for identifying breaks, bends, faulty connectors or splices, as well as other causes of signal loss, the PPM-350C's optional visual fault locator (VFL) enables quick and easy troubleshooting. This valuable option helps you shorten time-to-restoration cycles and increase the productivity of your field crews.

In addition to user-defined thresholds, EXFO's new PON power meter offers pass/warning/fail LED indicators that allow you to clearly and quickly assess your network's power level. This user-friendly feature facilitates QoS verification.
