The product image illustrates the series form factor. The actual panel layout and interfaces depend on the specific model.

Product Overview

The SML-MP6 combines an optical power meter and Ethernet continuity tester in a portable instrument. It displays linear, logarithmic, or relative optical power, switches among six standard wavelengths, and stores up to 255 test records.

Ethernet testing uses the main unit’s M port and the remote module’s R port. It identifies normal wiring, opens, shorts, crossed pairs, and poor termination at either end. The SML-MP6 does not include a visual fault locator, cable length measurement, or Bluetooth data transfer.

Typical Applications

  • Optical power measurement during fiber-link installation and maintenance
  • Power comparison across fiber patch cords, panels, and link ports
  • Ethernet continuity, wire-map, and fault-state checks in structured cabling
  • On-site optical power record storage and review

Safety and Operating Boundaries

  • Ethernet testing supports ordinary switches and standard PoE switches, but not non-standard PoE switches.
  • Clean fiber end faces and instrument optical ports before measurement, and select the wavelength that matches the signal under test.
  • Charge only from a DC 5 V / 0.5 A supply. Do not use high-voltage fast chargers or unverified power sources.

Features

  • Linear, logarithmic, and relative optical power measurement
  • Six selectable standard wavelengths with 1310 nm as the power-on default
  • Ethernet continuity and wire-map testing for opens, shorts, crossed pairs, and main- or remote-end faults
  • Stores up to 255 optical power test records
  • Universal optical interface directly accepts FC, SC, and ST connectors
