Description

Black Box FOLSPM-SM Fiber Optic Power Meter and Cleaner

Overview

The Black Box FOLSPM-SM is a compact, handheld tool designed for field technicians working with fiber optic networks. It integrates three critical functions: measuring optical power levels, assessing signal loss, and inspecting/cleaning connector end-faces. This utility is essential for verifying fiber optic link integrity during installation, troubleshooting, and routine maintenance, ensuring optimal performance and minimizing downtime in critical communication infrastructure.

Compatibility

This tool is designed for use with standard fiber optic connectors, including SC, FC, and ST types, commonly found in single-mode and multi-mode fiber optic deployments. It is compatible with fiber optic systems operating within the standard wavelengths used for telecommunications and data networking.

Installation Notes

Ensure connector end-faces are clean before inspection and measurement to prevent inaccurate readings. Use appropriate cleaning materials and techniques as recommended for fiber optic connectors. When measuring power levels, ensure the tool is set to the correct wavelength (e.g., 1310nm or 1550nm for single-mode fiber) to obtain accurate results. The FOLSPM-SM requires no external power source beyond its internal battery, simplifying field deployment.
