The EXFO PM-1600 is a fiber optic optical power meter engineered for precise measurement across the near-infrared spectrum. Built around an InGaAs detector, it delivers 0.001 dB resolution with ±0.015 dB linearity and ±5 % absolute uncertainty, making it suitable for laboratory characterization, field commissioning, and automated test environments. The meter supports multiple fiber types from 5/125 µm to 62.5/125 µm and operates across an 800 nm to 1700 nm wavelength range.
