Home / How to measure light in optical fiber cables
To use a power meter for fiber optic testing, always clean connectors first with lint-free wipes or click-to-clean tools. Fiber Optic Measurement Units: "dB" and "dBm" Whenever tests are performed on fiber optic networks, the results are displayed on a power meter, OLTS or OTDR readout in units of "dB. So, Exactly an optical power meter is a small device that tells you how strong the optical signal, it likes a thermometer but instead of checking your temperature, it checks the strength of optical laser going through the fiber cable. Fiber loss is the difference between the power when light is coupled from the transmitting end to the fiber and the power when the light reaches the receiving end. It's a simple but essential tool that measures the light passing through a fiber whether you are setting up a network, fixing weak signals or checking connections and knowing how to use an OPM can save your time and frustration.
In order to measure power, continuity and loss in a fiber optic cable, a light source and a power meter are required. Before using a power meter in the field, read the manual and run some practice tests.
