Optical Power Meter
An optical power meter typically consists of a handheld unit with a digital display, control buttons, and a fiber optic connector. The device is designed to be portable, lightweight, and easy to use, often featuring a robust exterior to withstand field conditions. The digital display provides clear, real-time readings of the optical power, usually measured in decibels (dBm) or milliwatts (mW), depending on the user’s preference. The device includes a photodetector, which converts the incoming light signal into an electrical signal that can be measured and displayed. The photodetector is calibrated to respond to specific wavelengths, commonly ranging from 800 nm to 1650 nm, which covers the standard wavelengths used in fiber optic communications, such as 1310 nm and 1550 nm.

Unlocking Precision in Fiber Optic Installations: The Essential Role of a Microduct Cutter
A fiber optic microduct cutter is a specialized tool designed to cut microducts—small, flexible tubes that house and protect fiber optic cables. These microducts, typically made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or similar materials, require a precise cutting mechanism to ensure the integrity of the fiber optic cables within. The microduct cutter is engineered to deliver clean, straight cuts without crushing or deforming the microduct, which is crucial for maintaining the quality and performance of the fiber optic network.
