Toronto, Canada - GAO Instruments (www.GAOInstruments.com) has rolled out this rugged optical power meter which is an essential test instrument for telecommunications and CATV maintenance. It is intended for use in fiber optics test labs and equally in field testing. This meter is also suitable for absolute optical power and relative loss measurements in fiber optic systems. The handheld optical power meter, model A0670005, tests optical power within the wavelength range of 800 to 1650nm and displays optical power in mW, dB and dBm. It offers calibrated wavelengths including 850, 980, 1310, and 1550nm. This cost-effective optical power meter features a dust and water resistant design, a low battery warning and quick response time without requiring warm-up.
