How to use an optical power meter to test the quality of a fiber optic pigtail

How to use an optical power meter to test the quality of a fiber optic pigtail

Power meter measurement in five steps: 1) Clean the meter port and the patch cord. Skipped reference, wrong wavelength, dirty connector, or a wrong-direction measurement will give you confidently incorrect readings every time. This guide walks through the full procedure -- from cleaning the connector to interpreting. This is your "QuickStart" guide to testing optical power in fiber optic communications systems with a fiber optic power meter. We'll give you the basic information you need and provide some printable references. Consistent procedures ensure accuracy. [pdf]
