The ODM RP-450 is a portable, ruggedized optical power meter engineered for field deployment in fiber optic testing, premise wiring, telecom, and broadband markets. It delivers accurate power measurements across single-mode and multimode fiber systems with ±0.25 dB accuracy and 0.01 dB resolution. The meter supports both absolute (dBm) and relative (dB) measurement modes, allows reference setting for direct loss calculations, and identifies incoming 2 kHz modulated tones via audible alert for fiber tracing. NIST-traceable measurements ensure metrological confidence in critical installations.
