The power meter / light source is used to measure attenuation in multimode or single-mode cabling. The power meter’s high dynamic range also allows troubleshooting of LAN and Telecom networks. Both the power meter and light source support the fiber inspection probe to capture images of the connector on each end of the cabling.
