The Noyes OPM4 is a handheld optical power meter engineered for insertion loss measurements and optical power characterization across premises, Telco, and broadband fiber optic networks. N.I.S.T. traceable with ±0.25 dB accuracy, the meter delivers 0.01 dB resolution and automatic wavelength identification (Wave ID) when paired with compatible Noyes light sources—eliminating manual setup errors and accelerating field testing. Optical reference storage by calibrated wavelength, integrated tone detection for fiber identification, and multiple detector options ensure flexibility across multimode, single-mode, POF, and high-power DWDM applications.
