High-Precision Optical Power Measurement
The FOBER FB-50B03 delivers accurate optical power measurements with a wide dynamic range, ensuring reliable test results across various network environments. It supports both absolute and relative power measurements, which is essential for fiber loss testing, link validation, and signal verification.
Whether you’re working on passive optical networks (PON), fiber backbones, or last-mile FTTH installations, the FB-50B03 helps you verify signal strength and identify losses quickly and efficiently.
Wide Wavelength Range with Multiple Calibration Points
The FB-50B03 supports measurements over a broad wavelength range, typically from 800nm to 1700nm, covering all standard fiber optic transmission bands. It comes pre-calibrated for six popular wavelengths:
850nm
1300nm
1310nm
1490nm
1550nm
1625nm
This makes the device suitable for a wide range of applications, including FTTx networks, DWDM systems, and metro and long-haul optical links.
User-Friendly Design and Interface
The FB-50B03 features a clear backlit LCD display, providing excellent visibility of measurement data in various lighting conditions, including dark equipment rooms and bright outdoor environments. The intuitive interface allows technicians to:
Easily switch between wavelengths
Choose between measurement units (dBm, mW, µW)
Set a reference level for loss testing
Check battery and signal status
It also includes a “REF” function, allowing users to store a reference power level and measure optical loss by comparing real-time values to the reference.
Rugged and Portable Construction
Designed for field use, the FB-50B03 is compact, lightweight, and built to withstand tough working conditions. It features:
Shock-resistant outer casing
Protective rubber boot to guard against drops and impacts
Dust-resistant keypad
Ergonomic grip for comfortable handling during extended use
Its rugged build quality ensures long-term reliability, even in demanding outdoor and industrial environments.
Long Battery Life and Energy Efficiency
Powered by either rechargeable lithium batteries or standard AA batteries, the FB-50B03 provides 8–10 hours of continuous operation. An auto power-off feature helps conserve battery life during periods of inactivity, and a low battery indicator alerts users in advance.
With USB charging support (depending on model variant), it’s convenient for on-the-go charging using power banks, laptops, or in-vehicle adapters.
Connector Compatibility and Accessories
The FB-50B03 supports a wide range of fiber connectors, including:
FC/SC/ST adapters
Universal connector port for quick switching
Interchangeable adapters to support custom network setups
It comes with a complete kit that may include the power meter unit, FC/SC adapters, user manual, batteries or charger, and a protective carrying case.
