This unit
The Exfo FOT-10A is a handheld optical power meter for fiber continuity testing, fault location, and loss measurement in field installations. Its compact, rugged design meets Telcordia drop-test requirements and operates over extended battery life, making it suitable for technicians deploying across multimode and singlemode fiber networks. The instrument provides direct loss measurement in dB alongside absolute power readings in dBm, with 2 kHz signal detection for fiber identification and electrical offset nulling for extreme temperature environments.
Technical Specifications
- Calibrated Wavelengths: 780 nm, 850 nm, 1300 nm, 1310 nm, 1550 nm
- Measurement Range: −50 to +21 dBm; −60 to +6 dBm; −60 to +26 dBm (GeX detector)
- Resolution: ±0.05 dB
- Measurement Uncertainty: ±5%
- Fiber Identification: 2 kHz signal detection
- Power Source: Single 9 V alkaline battery or AC adapter/charger
- Battery Life: Over 14 hours continuous operation
- Calibration: NIST traceable; custom wavelength calibration available
Key Features
- Germanium (Ge) or high-power Germanium (GeX) detector options
- Measurement in dBm (transmitter power) and dB (loss)
- Auto-off function extends battery runtime
- Electrical offset nulling for high-temperature operation
- Shockproof holster with integrated adapter and battery storage
Typical Applications
- Transmitter power measurements (dBm)
- Fiber-link loss testing (dB)
- Component insertion-loss testing (dB)
- Fiber identification via 2 kHz modulation
- LAN installation and maintenance
