The Noyes OPM 6 is a field-portable optical power meter that measures optical power across fiber optic transmission systems. It delivers N.I.S.T.-traceable measurements in dB, dBm, and µW for installation, maintenance, and diagnostic testing of singlemode and multimode networks. The meter performs simultaneous dual-wavelength loss measurements and stores results for up to 960 fibers in non-volatile memory across 10 user-defined files.
