Selection Notes
- Typically selected when teams want a single handheld unit for both power/loss checks (OPM) and visual continuity/fault tracing (VFL), and they can standardize how wavelength selection, reference setting, and mode switching are handled across technicians.
- May not be appropriate for organizations that cannot standardize the measurement-range variant, VFL output level, and optional features (storage/wireless/RJ45) across crews, since mixed configurations and leftover settings commonly reduce comparability and slow down acceptance testing or troubleshooting.
