DWDM transmitters. The OCM-C from OWL is capable of measuring 96 DWDM channels from 191.30 to 196.05 Terahertz, using 50 Gigahertz spacing. Each of these channels are measured for optical power levels, which are compared to user-definable minimum and maximum power levels (useful for determining PASS/FAIL). -

OWL. Unauthorized attempts to service the battery will void the product warranty. Cleaning. For accurate readings, the optical connector port on the OCM-C and the connector on the patch cable should be cleaned prior to attaching them to each other. Minimize dust and dirt buildup by replacing the dust caps after each use. -
Page 26: Ocm Module Channel Grid
The G.694.1 does not specify a channel numbering system. Channel numbering systems are proprietary to DWDM equipment manufacturers. The channel grid for the OCM-C is based on the upper (196.05 THz) and lower (191.30) frequency limits of the internal OCM module.
