Which EXFO power meter is compatible with unconnectorised or bare fibre?
The EXFO IQS-1600 and PM-1600 range of power meters are available with a choice of either standard 1 mm or 3 mm wide-area InGaAs detectors. A wide-area detector is recommended for use with unconnectorised fibre. When used in conjunction with the EXFO bare fibre adaptor, the IQS-1600W and PM-1600W power meters give accurate and repeatable measurements over all the telecom transmission bands. The IQS-1600W power meter’s modules operate within the IQS-600 mainframes and are available with 1, 2 or 4 detector channels per module. The PM-1600W range of stand-alone power meters is available with either 1 or 2 detector channels. EXFO Bare Fibre Adaptors can be readily loaded with the unconnectorised fibre and snap into place onto the power meter with a magnetic clamp.
