Recommendations for a decent DWDM optical power meter.
I have been looking into DWDM light meters. The JDSU looks good, but I see other brands out there. Does anyone have some recommendations, things to look out for? Thanks, Tim Kaufman
I should elaborate the JDSU OCC-56C looks decent. Also any suggestions on basic OSA's? We have a few spans with both passive and boosted light DWDM. -----Original Message----- From: NANOG [mailto:nanog-bounces@nanog.org] On Behalf Of Timothy Kaufman Sent: Monday, July 28, 2014 11:13 AM To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Recommendations for a decent DWDM optical power meter.

I've got the CWDM version of this, and it does the job. Haven't explored the test result downloading/archiving features (didn't expect them to work with Linux anyway) but overall it was very helpful for measuring loss across various passive muxes (where DDM wasn't available). Tom
We have the Solid Optics DWDM and CWDM power meters. Simple, inexpensive and works well ... http://www.solid-optics.com/category/cwdm-dwdm/power-meter ... n -- K. Neil Davidson +1-720-258-6345 On Mon, Jul 28, 2014 at 2:45 PM, Tom Hill <tom@ninjabadger.net> wrote:

We also have a Solid Optics CWDM meter and it does the job quite nicely. It feels solid (haha...) and is relatively cheap. -- Jeff Walter On Mon, Jul 28, 2014 at 4:34 PM, Neil Davidson <neil@knd.org> wrote:

Correct me if I'm wrong but the solid optics power meter is just rebranded PPI? Also what about a decent but reasonably priced OSA? Suggestions?
