In networks called GPON, each subscriber has their own optical fiber to the access point.The installed passive optical splitter then divides the signal from the distribution point among the different subscribers.To facilitate real-time measurements on these GPON networks, manufacturer and vendor of devices for the laser and optoelectronics industry, LASER COMPONENTS, has introduced the new OLP-88 GPON measurement device from VIAVI Solutions.This device provides an insertion loss of less than 1.5 dB, but also downstream and upstream power level measurement, including pass/fail analysis.it is also possible to measure loss in the initial operation.The OLP-88 is capable of identifying the ODN (optical distribution network), detecting faulty network units (called ONUs, also for its acronym in English), and carrying out the reading of the numbers serial ONU/ONT.It is, according to VIAVI, the first instrument of its kind on the market to include such capabilities.Power measurements of 1490/1310 nanometer, and 1550 nm wavelength dependent signals are possible.Automatic pass/fail fiber analysis works with the integrated patchcord microscope or the P5000i.The ease of use of this measurement device for GPON networks is reflected in the fact that it is possible to generate a certification report with the push of a button.In the words of the manufacturing company, it is "child's play".The GPON data analysis included in the OLP-88 simplifies and speeds up installation workflows by automatically providing all necessary system information to technical support.Among the benefits provided by the use of this meter, we have that it ensures acceptance by the GPON network the first time, reduces the complexity of the workflow during service activation, speeds up the detection of problems in the field, facilitating service recovery , and drive user behavior and workflow to eliminate problems caused by bad practices.Among the applications for which we can use it, are the verification of the GPON ONT activation process, the identification of OLT and ONT by extracting the serial number, the qualification of the fiber that is in service in a plant, or the automatic power level measurement and certification of PON signals.Save my name, email, and website in this browser the next time I comment.This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.Learn how your comment data is processed.Now you can use our free SERVICE to quickly contact companies that rent splicers, certifiers, OTDRs, cutters...
