80H Fiber Optic Multi meter

Integrating the 80H-12 multi-meter (combining a -70 to +10 dBm OPM, dual-wavelength OLS, and 10 mW VFL) into our field certification kits has vastly improved test throughput. The 1 mm super-large photosensitive InGaAs detector significantly improves light collection efficiency, eliminating beam vignetting and insertion variance when switching between SC, FC, ST, and LC APC/UPC interfaces. The automatic wavelength recognition and frequency identification features work flawlessly with the internal light source, automatically syncing the power meter to 270 Hz, 1 kHz, or 2 kHz modulated tones without manual intervention. Furthermore, the ability to store and offload test results directly via single-chip microprocessor control streamlines our compliance documentation.

Our outside plant technicians frequently operate in harsh environments where delicate test equipment fails. The 80H stands out due to its advanced thermoplastic molding shell, which provides exceptional shock resistance without adding excessive weight. We specifically procured the 80H-15 variable optical attenuator (VOA) variant (0 to 60 dB attenuation) along with combo OPM/OLS units to evaluate system margin and receiver sensitivity in high-density DWDM and FTTH cabinets. The true color LCD display remains perfectly legible under direct sunlight, and the ergonomic housing allows easy single-handed operation during prolonged cabinet audits.

Managing hybrid HFC and RFoG networks requires measuring high-power EDFA outputs that easily saturate standard optical power meters. The 80H-04 unit handles power levels up to +26 dBm (-50 to +26 dBm range) with excellent linearity while incorporating a 10 mW visual fault locator for immediate near-end patch cord troubleshooting. The single-chip microprocessor ensures fast boot-up and stable zero-referencing. Having universal adapter mounts that support SC/APC, FC/APC, ST/APC, and LC/APC connectors natively allows our field teams to test diverse patch panels without carrying bulky hybrid jumpers. A versatile, industrial-grade multi-meter that offers incredible value for tier-1 network audits.
