Page 5: Introduction
Page 5 of 36 1. Introduction The FX80 power meter is designed to test passive optical networks (PON). It is used to simultaneously measure all optical signal levels between the Optical Line Terminal (OLT) and the Optical Network Unit/Terminal (ONU/ONT) on Gigabit B/E/GPON type networks. It can be connected onto the PON network at any available access point along the Optical Distribution Network (ODN). - Page 6 FX80 PON User Manual D07-00-115P RevA01 Page 6 of 36 1490, 1550, 1590, 1610, 1625, 1650 nm); • Visual Fault Locator (VFL) option; • Client USB software (LTSync) for data transfer to PC or cloud for future analysis and reporting.

Modes for Optical Power Measurements for details. 2. To test a PON network, you can insert the FX80 at one of above locations (see Figure typical passive optical network (PON) with possible points of measurement) along the PON network: OLT, Fiber Distribution Hub/Point (FDP) or ONU/ONT. You will need at least one extra patchcord to perform a test. - Page 18 FX80 PON User Manual D07-00-115P RevA01 Page 18 of 36 4. Once a good 1490 nm signal level is detected, connect the patchcord between the FX80 ONU/ONT right-side test port and the PON network element closest to the ONU/ONT to measure the 1310 nm upstream signal.
