Through Mode
FTTH PON power meter for turn-up and

In Through mode, insert a PON power meter
into a network to measure power levels
(for both upstream and downstream).
The PON power meter does not afect the trafc
and can be used to troubleshoot at any point
in the network.

Before activating the network or when connecting an ONT:
Measure optical power at the OLT (1490/1550 nm) to ensure
delivery of sufcient power to the ONTs
Measure optical power at each splitter output
Measure optical power at the ONT (1310/1490/1550 nm)

Fiber Optic Testing
Volume 2
The FI-60 identifes optical
signals on fber without
opening it at the splice point.
It also can detect continuous
wave, live optical transmission,
and 270 Hz, 1 kHz, and 2 kHz
modulated tones.
A visual fault locator is
essential for quickly and easily
locating the exact area where
problems exist in fber cables
so technicians can trouble-
shoot, diagnose, and fx them
efciently.
The P5000i digital analysis
microscope makes it quick and
easy to certify that every
connection in your network is
clean and optimized. Inspect,
save pictures, and perform
pass/fail analyses using JDSU
T-BERD/MTS platforms.
The OTS-55 transmits digital
voice clearly over a single
fber. Technicians can
conveniently use a headset or
speakerphone mode to
communicate hands-free.
The OLT-55 measures optical
power and IL. It is used for
installation, maintenance, and
troubleshooting of single
mode fber. It also can be used
as a standalone power meter
or laser source.
The OLP-57 Selective PON
Power Meter tests FTTX/PON
systems. Its through mode can
simultaneously measure all
three fber wavelengths 1490
nm and 1550 nm downstream
and 1310 nm upstream
The T-BERD/MTS-2000 and
T-BERD/MTS-4000 are modular
platforms. The OTDR module
measures attenuation along the
fber, detect events, and
measures ORL and IL. The
selective PON power meter
measures power level in
pass-through mode
OTDRs can automatically monitor PON networks while in service. At each acquisition, it checks
the peak level that the refective termination generates. The peak will disappear if the fber is
cut or the level will decrease during attenuation. This system checks for fber continuity from
the CO to the customer and is the only way to know whether problems stem from the physical
infrastructure (fber, splitter, connector) or the equipment (OLT, ONU, ONT).
