  • Page 18: Connecting To The Optical Laser Source

    4.11 Connecting to the Optical Laser Source When connected to the dual-wavelength laser source (FOLS-SM-200 or FOLS- MM-200), the Optical Power Meter (FOPM-210) accurately measures loss at distances up to 250 kilometers at 1550 nm. On-the-spot measurement will differ with the working wavelength, fiber attenuation, and the testing environment.
