This unit
The Exfo FPM-302 is a handheld fiber optic optical power meter engineered for precise measurement of optical signal strength across multiple wavelengths. It delivers accurate power quantification from 10 dBm to –60 dBm with extended display capability to –65 dBm, enabling field technicians and network engineers to identify signal loss, verify network performance, and troubleshoot fiber optic infrastructures. Built around a Germanium detector, the FPM-302 offers 0.01 dB resolution and ±5% ±1 nW uncertainty across 10 calibrated wavelengths spanning 830 nm to 1625 nm.
