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.

I've got the CWDM version of this, and it does the job. Haven't explored 
the test result downloading/archiving features (didn't expect them to 
work with Linux anyway) but overall it was very helpful for measuring 
loss across various passive muxes (where DDM wasn't available).

I should elaborate the JDSU OCC-56C looks decent.
Also maybe the ODPM-48.
Also any suggestions on basic OSA's?
We have a few spans with both passive and boosted light DWDM.

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,
