Selection Notes
- Typically selected when technicians need a compact meter that supports absolute power (dBm) and relative loss (dB) and can switch among common calibrated wavelengths for routine installation checks and maintenance.
- May not be appropriate for teams that cannot keep a consistent routine for wavelength selection and relative-reference setting, or where connector-interface cleanliness cannot be maintained, since these are common causes of non-repeatable readings in field acceptance and troubleshooting.
