RE: Recommendations for a decent DWDM optical power meter.

2014-08-04 Thread Timothy Kaufman
Correct me if I'm wrong but the solid optics power meter is just rebranded PPI?

Also what about a decent but reasonably priced OSA?
Suggestions?

We also have a Solid Optics CWDM meter and it does the job quite nicely. It 
feels solid (haha...) and is relatively cheap.

Recommendations for a decent DWDM optical power meter.

2014-07-28 Thread Timothy Kaufman
I have been looking into DWDM light meters.
The JDSU looks good, but I see other brands out there.
Does anyone have some recommendations, things to look out for?

Thanks,


Tim Kaufman

I should elaborate the JDSU OCC-56C looks decent.
Also any suggestions on basic OSA's?
We have a few spans with both passive and boosted light DWDM.
