AFL FlowScout TPPM-XG PON Optical Power Meter
AFL’s FlowScout Through-Mode PON Power Meter identifies, measures, and qualifies both downstream and upstream signal levels in FTTx PON networks. It is perfect for technicians responsible for activating and maintaining networks carrying a mix of GPON/EPON, video, and next gen PON (XG/XGS-PON, 10GEPON) wavelengths.
Unlike competing through-mode PON Power Meters, AFL’s FlowScout Through-Mode PON Power meter requires no setup. Technicians simply plug in the fiber under test to see results displayed in seconds on the large color touchscreen. Storage and reporting options are included to verify and document results from the field.
The rugged design of the FlowScout PON Power Meter is tailored for outdoor use, ensuring durability in tough environments where it may be dropped or exposed to dirt and moisture. Its user-friendly nature means minimal to no training is needed, making it exceptionally accessible for customers.
