Datasheet

Overview

The VIAVI SmartClass Fiber OLP-87 is an FTTx/PON power meter used for activating and troubleshooting B-PON, E-PON and G-PON networks, next-generation 10G PON networks such as XG-PON and 10G-EPON, and higher-capacity NG-PON2 networks. It combines a wavelength-selective power meter with pass/fail fiber inspection analysis in one portable instrument.

In through mode, the OLP-87 is connected between the OLT and ONT sides of the link and measures the individual downstream and upstream wavelengths at the same time, including burst-mode upstream signals. This lets technicians verify the power level of each service separately where several PON technologies share the same fiber, for example G-PON alongside XGS-PON or E-PON alongside 10G-EPON.

Why a wavelength-selective meter

A broadband power meter sums every wavelength present at its input, so on a multi-service PON it reports an inaccurate, typically high, reading. That can lead to unnecessary attenuation and to ONTs that fail to activate or run with marginal power. A selective PON power meter isolates each wavelength and shows which service is present, which also determines the type of CPE (ONT/ONU) to install.

Inspection and reporting

Automated pass/fail fiber end-face inspection is available with the optional P5000i microscope, or with the integrated patch cord microscope on the OLP-87P variants. Measurement results are stored on the instrument and can be downloaded to generate certification reports that document work quality against industry or customer specifications. A hands-free carrier is supplied for use inside homes or on poles.
