PPM1
SERVICE ACTIVATION PON POWER METER
Versatile dual-layer tester purpose-built for service activation of PON, with added broadband capabilities.
Next-gen PON service activation
A single power meter for 1G and 10G—No training required.
Next-generation passive optical networks (PONs) will, in most cases, leverage existing outdoor plant infrastructure. Adding new services on existing networks translates into overlaying multiple wavelengths on the same physical fiber plant. The PPM1 is compatible with multiple services including GPON, EPON, XGS-PON and 10G-EPON technologies. Its wavelength-selective design allows it to measure up to two downstream signals simultaneously, assessing power level for rapid and reliable service activation.
Purpose-built for service activation
1. Unique PON-aware™ capability: automatically detects PON technology in use
2. Supports 1G/10G PON networks: G/E-PON and XGS-PON/10G-EPON
3. No training required: highly intuitive interface and color touchscreen
4. Robust and rugged: IP54 design for dust and water protection
5. 3-year warranty and calibration interval
6. Long-lasting LiPo battery (rechargeable and field-replaceable)
7. Broadband Power Meter mode and VFL port (PRO model)
Applications
1. Service activation: Multilayer FTTx PON
2. Service activation: GPON, EPON, XGS-PON and 10G EPON
3. Network troubleshooting
Key benefits:
1. Automate test results management.
2. Boost compliance and efficiency.
3. Improve collaboration and visibility.
4. Access comprehensive reporting.
5. Unlock insights to see what matters.
NEXT-GENERATION PON SERVICE ACTIVATION
Next-generation passive optical networks (PONs) will, in most cases, leverage existing outdoor plant infrastructure already in use for PON customers. Adding new services on existing networks translates into overlaying multiple wavelengths on the same physical fiber plant.
A SINGLE POWER METER FOR 1G AND 10G NETWORKS
EXFO’s PPM1 is compatible with multiple services including GPON, EPON, XGS-PON and 10G-EPON technologies. Its PON-layer wavelength-selective design allows it to measure up to two downstream
signals simultaneously, assessing power level for rapid and reliable service activation.
PON-AWARE TECHNOLOGY
By leveraging customizable or preset PON layer configurations, the PPM1 notifies the user and recommends the available PON layer for the network under test for proper pass/fail assessment, enabling error-free testing.
PRO MODEL: ALL-IN-ONE VERSATILE POWER METER
Mode for broadband
On top of the PON mode, the PPM1 PRO features a Broadband Power Meter mode calibrated at five wavelengths with the following capabilities when used in combination with an EXFO light source: auto-wavelength detection and switching, modulated tone detection, power and loss measurement.
Visual fault locator (VFL)
The PRO model includes a VFL that emits light in three different modes (continuous, slow blink and fast blink) to trace fibers and identify breaks and macrobends.
LOW COST OF OWNERSHIP
Designed for extended use in the field, the PPM1 delivers best-in-class optical performances—day in, day out. Backed by EXFO’s track record of device robustness and its IP54 design for water and dust protection, this tester is an extremely reliable and long‑lasting investment.
