Atec Exfo-PPM-350B-EG User Manual

The market’s first BPON/EPON/GPON
power meter

New PPM-352B-EG-ER: the only power meter truly optimized for
EPON and GPON architectures

Pass/warning/fail indicators (10 threshold sets) for easy assessment
of power values—anywhere on the network

Simultaneous measurement and display of all PON signals—voice,
data and video

Filtered measurements, providing distinct power values for each signal
(1310 nm, 1490 nm and 1550 nm)

Two-port pass-through configurations* enabling full OLT-to-ONT
communication while testing.

The most easy-to-use instrument of its kind: simply connect the fiber
and read the results

Extended-range for testing at the central office (CO) and before
the splitter

Go-anywhere versatility: enables quick, accurate testing
all across the network

A Revolutionary Testing Tool for FTTH
and FTTP Systems

The industry’s first PON-specific power meter, the
PPM-350B is the flagship of EXFO’s line of test
instruments specifically intended for FTTH and FTTP
systems. The PPM-352B-EG-ER is the ideal tool for
FTTH/FTTP service activation and troubleshooting.

Service Activation Testing

Optimizing network reliability requires that all PON
signals be measured all the way through service
activation to ensure they meet established standards.
The PPM-350B offers the features to address this need:

Pass-through connection for ONT signal
measurement and simultaneous measurement
of all PON signals

Filtered detectors for individual measurement
of each wavelength

Upstream burst detection at 1310 nm

Troubleshooting Testing

Throughout the maintenance phase, various
transmission problems—fiber cuts, damaged/dirty
connectors, macrobendings, optical transmitter failure,
etc.—may ultimately cause signal loss or degradation.
Benefit from the PPM-350B’s troubleshooting
functionalities:

Quick, on-site test and measurement of PON
signals, anywhere on the network

Fault identification and isolation

Upstream signal
from the ONT

Downstream signal
from the OLT
