EXFO MPC-103X – optical power checker

The EXFO MPC-103X Optical Power Checker is a high-power optical power meter that is ideal for testing PON networks. It supports a wide range of PON technologies, including GPON, EPON, XG/XGS-PON, and NG-PON2. The MPC-103X also offers a number of features that make it easy to use and efficient, including PON-aware™ technology, Pass/Fail LEDs, a touchscreen display, and internal storage with Bluetooth and USB connectivity.

Features

• High power range: The MPC-103X has a high power range of -45 to 23 dBm, making it ideal for testing PON networks.
• Wide wavelength range: The MPC-103X supports a wide range of optical wavelengths, from 850 nm to 1625 nm. This makes it ideal for testing a variety of optical networks, including PON, DWDM, and CWDM.
• High accuracy: The MPC-103X offers high-accuracy measurements, with a resolution of 0.01 dB. This ensures technicians can get accurate and reliable test results, even for low-power optical signals.
• PON-aware™ technology: PON-aware™ technology automatically detects and adapts test parameters for the PON technology, eliminating the need for technicians to configure the instrument manually. This saves time and reduces the risk of errors.
• Pass/Fail LEDs: Pass/Fail LEDs provide technicians with a quick and easy way to identify any problems with the network under test. The LEDs are illuminated green when the test passes and red when it fails.
• Touchscreen display: The touchscreen display is large and easy to read, even in direct sunlight. It provides technicians with all of the information they need to perform their tests, including the type of PON technology being tested, the optical power levels, and the Pass/Fail status of the test.
• Internal storage: Internal storage can store up to 1000 test results. This makes it easy for technicians to keep track of their work and to generate reports.
• Bluetooth and USB connectivity: Bluetooth and USB connectivity allow technicians to transfer test results and generate reports without connecting the instrument to a computer. This can be useful for technicians who are working in remote locations.

Benefits

The EXFO MPC-103X Optical Power Checker offers several benefits to field technicians, including:

• Increased productivity: The MPC-103X’s easy-to-use interface and wide wavelength range make it easy for technicians to quickly and accurately test PON networks. This can help to improve technician productivity and reduce the time it takes to install and troubleshoot PON networks.
• Reduced errors: The MPC-103X’s high accuracy and simple interface help to reduce the risk of errors. This can lead to more reliable test results and improved network performance.
• Improved visibility: The MPC-103X’s internal storage and Bluetooth connectivity make it easy for technicians to share test results and generate reports. This can help improve visibility into PON networks’ performance and make it easier to identify and troubleshoot problems.

Applications
