3. Test Applications
3.1 Selective OPM for G-PON & XGS-PON
Selective (filtered) Optical Power Meters are used to measure the individual signal levels in Optical Distribution Networks (ODN) carrying multiple services, like in coexistent (CEx) PON deployments. Since there may be multiple wavelengths on the fiber being tested, traditional broadband OPMs DO NOT work in these environments.
Swipe down from the top, to open the System & Tools menu, then tap on the PON OPM button to activate this test application. A selective (filtered) optical power meter (OPM) separates coexistent G-PON 1490 nm and XGS-PON 1577 nm downstream wavelengths, to simultaneously measure their individual optical power levels. These measured signal levels can be compared against standard (or customized) minimum and maximum thresholds expected for different network points to diagnose if the physical link passes of fails the applicable installation requirements.
Test Application Settings and Functions Menu
Swipe-up from the bottom to reveal the Test Application menu.
- Tap on the
Config button to setup the network reference test point (ONT or OLT sites), PON Classification and PASS/FAIL Thresholds. - After taking measurements, tap on the
Save Results button to store the current values. Users can overwrite the default File Name with a custom name, as well as add extra information such as Job ID, Node ID (Location or Site), subscriber's Account. Tap on the OK button to save.
Users can configure the OPM to measure power from G-PON's 1490 nm, XGS-PON's 1577 nm or Both wavelengths, and Enable or Disable the Pass/Fail Thresholds evaluation.
When thresholds are enabled, tap on the G-PON or XGS-PON fields to configure the Site (ONT or OLT location) and transmitter Class. Users can select standardized thresholds, based on transceiver classes for G-PON (A, B, B+, C, C+, Ext C+, Ext D) or XGS-PON (10G-N1, 10G-N2, E1, E2), or enter custom limits in the User Defined sections.
To modify the User Defined threshold values, slide the markers left and right to adjust, or tap on the blue boxes to directly enter the desired maximum and minimum values in dBm, for the signal power level limits allowed.
Tap on the ⟨ Back arrows to return to the previous screens and Test Results.
Optical Power Measurement Results
Optical power levels that fail the minimum or maximum thresholds, for the selected Site and Class, are highlighted in red and marked as FAIL. Levels within the expected threshold limits will be highlighted in green and marked PASS. If no signal is detected, the test set displays Low.
Note: Contrary to common Broadband OPMs, which don't discriminate between the optical signals coming in, a Selective PON OPM WILL NOT measure signals outside of its working bands (e.g., 1490 nm for G-PON, 1577 nm for XGS-PON) and it will display Low or very attenuated values for any other wavelengths that may be present in the fiber under test.
Certain optical distribution networks carry a TV Broadcast signal over the 1550 nm wavelength, however, that does not affect the accuracy of the GPON and XGS-PON level measurements, when the right selective OPM is being used.
Refer to the following video for a Quick Guide on how to use the PX90's Selective PON Optical Power Meter.
PON Optical Distribution Network (ODN) Classes
The measurements' standard PASS/FAIL criteria are based on the optical level thresholds that depend on the location (site) in which the measurements were taken, the type of PON network and the expected ODN Class.
