SS101 800nm~1700nm Optical Power Meter / OPM

At SKYSHL, innovation drives the development of high-performance fiber optic testing tools. The challenge was clear: create an optical power meter that was accurate, durable, and versatile—a tool that could support both field technicians and lab engineers in maintaining high-speed fiber optic networks.

The team started by identifying the core issues in existing power meters. Many devices were either too bulky, difficult to operate, or had limited wavelength support. To solve these problems, SKYSHL’s engineers designed the SS101PVA and SS101PVC, two compact, high-precision optical power meters capable of testing both single-mode and multi-mode fiber networks.

One major breakthrough was the wide dynamic range. The SS101PVA supports power measurements from -70 to +50 dBm, making it ideal for ultra-low-power signals, while the SS101PVC covers -50 to +26 dBm, catering to higher power applications. SS101PVA and SS101PVC support six key wavelengths—850nm, 1300nm, 1310nm, 1490nm, 1550nm, and 1625nm—ensuring compatibility across different fiber network types.

The engineering team also integrated a high-precision photodetector and signal processing technology, allowing for accurate power measurement with minimal deviation. To enhance usability, they equipped the power meters with a 2.5mm universal adapter and interchangeable SC, FC, and LC connectors, providing maximum flexibility for field technicians.

Another focus was usability and efficiency. The large color LCD display ensured clear readings, even in low-light environments. The meters were designed to be lightweight and ergonomically shaped, reducing fatigue during long testing sessions. To extend battery life, the devices featured a global standard AA battery system, providing over 20 hours of continuous operation with an auto-shutdown function after 10 minutes of inactivity.

During testing, engineers paired the SS101PVA with the SS100 or SS103 optical light source, allowing for precise insertion loss measurements on single-mode fiber links. The built-in 650nm visual fault locator (VFL) with a 10km range made it easier to detect fiber breaks and high-loss points, reducing troubleshooting time.

After months of rigorous field trials in telecom, FTTH, and data center environments, SKYSHL successfully launched the SS101PVA and SS101PVC. These SS101PVA and SS101PVC optical power meters quickly became essential tools for fiber optic professionals worldwide, offering a perfect balance of performance, portability, and durability.

Through relentless innovation, SKYSHL once again delivered cutting-edge fiber optic testing solutions, empowering engineers to build and maintain the world’s most advanced optical networks.
