The ZOOM is an economical fiber optic power meter. It provides accurate testing of single and multi-mode fiber cables. The large LED display shows optical absolute power in dBm or relative to a user set zero reference in dB. A single switch selects between 850, 1300, and 1550nm wavelengths (the Silicon ZOOM is 850nm only) and the zero button allows the user to switch between dBm and dB or set the zero reference power.
The meter is offered with either Silicon or Germanium detectors in 2.5mm universal receptacles, with a standard power range of +3 to -52 dBm.
General Technical Description:
- 1mm Germanium photo-detector with 2.5mm universal connector (other options available)
- Separate zero reference for each NIST calibrated wavelength
- Small, hand-held size
- Ergonomic Protective Rubber Boot
- Long battery life - over 15 hrs on one 9v battery
- Bright 3-digit display allows accurate readings in both absolute dBm and relative dB
- Power on/low battery indicator and dB/dBm indicator
- Wavelength selection switch and zero button provide simple operation.
Set Reference: The ZOOM stores reference values for three commonly used industry standard wavelengths (850, 1300/1310, and 1550). The Silicon ZOOM stores a reference for 850nm. Each of these wavelengths are N.I.S.T. Traceable.
Other standard features include a 3 digit, 0.1dB resolution display and your choice of 2.5mm Universal detector ports that are compatible with FC, ST, SC, DIN, and any other 2.5 mm ferrule connectors! The 2mm detector version has a removable adapter port for use with 1.25mm connectors (such as LC, and many SFF connectors).
The ZOOM also comes with low battery warning and a free rugged rubber boot.
