This unit
The EXFO PPM-350C is a handheld pass-through power meter for BPON, EPON, and GPON network testing and troubleshooting. It simultaneously measures and displays all PON signals - voice, data, and video - enabling concurrent upstream and downstream assessment during service activation and field diagnostics. The device combines triple-play signal validation with intuitive operation and field-hardened construction.
