The ILX Lightwave FPM-8210 is a fiber optic power meter designed for precision optical power measurements across the 800 nm to 1650 nm wavelength range. Built around an InGaAs sensor, the instrument delivers ±2.5% accuracy under reference conditions and ±5.0% under operating conditions, with measurement repeatability of ±0.003 dB typical. The single input port accepts both connectorized (FC/PC, FC/APC, LC, SC) and bare fiber configurations, eliminating the need for multiple test heads in production environments.
