The FMH-8700 Series Fiber Optic Measurement Heads have the calibration stored in the connector to allow rapid interchanging of measurement heads during different test setups. The measurement heads cover a wavelength range of 800nm to 1650nm with a power range of -85 dBm to +30 dBm.

The FMH-8700 Series Fiber Optic Measurement Head and the FPM-8220 Fiber Optic Power Meter were designed to provide precise fiber optic measurement in demanding test and measurement applications for fiber optic components. The FPM-8220 Fiber Optic Power Meter incorporates a low noise pico-ammeter capable of measuring over a wide dynamic range with high stability and repeatability necessary for precise measurement. Designed for production environments, the FPM-8220 Fiber Optic Power Meter incorporates an intuitive front panel and includes GPIB and USB as standard remote interfaces. By combining the FPM-8220 with one of the FMH-8700 Series Fiber Optic Measurement Heads, the system provides better than +2.5% accuracy with +0.01dB repeatability for precise fiber optic component power measurement.

Newport offers a variety of interchangeable fiber optic adapters which allow the FMH-8700 series Fiber Optic Measurement Head to be compatible with a wide range of connectors including FC, SC, LC, bare FC ferrule, and bare fiber.
