Overview
The Jonard Tools PON-55 Network Power Meter is a precision instrument engineered for live testing and maintenance of Passive Optical Network (PON) systems, including BPON, EPON, and GPON architectures. This device is essential for technicians performing FTTx service turn-ups, as it enables the simultaneous measurement of voice, data, and video signal power.
Constructed with a rugged, shatter-resistant sleeve for field durability, the meter provides real-time analysis through pass, warning, and fail LED indicators. It offers integrated data management via a USB interface, allowing users to save up to 1,000 test results and calibrate wavelengths via PC software.
