The FM Series Fiber Meters are hand-held, compact, lightweight, and easy-to-use battery powered optical power meters. Together with any of Wilcom's Fiber Sources, this team makes a perfect combination for accurately testing multimode and singlemode optical fiber systems The FM8520 Smart Power Meter offers measurements in dBm, dBr, and micro-watts The unit can store a reference measurement for easy loss measurement calculations. The optical input port on the FM power meters accept any Wilcom thread-on style adapter caps. Adapter caps are required for operation and must be ordered separately. The FM8520 measure optical power from + 5 dBm to -70 dBm with calibrated wavelengths of 850, 1300/1310, and 1550nm making these units ideal for general singlemode and multimode fiber optic testing. The unit stores 250 measurements per wavelength, and has an RS-232 port for exporting the data. Additionally, 2 kHz signal detection is performed by the unit for easy fiber identification.
