SML-MPSL6 Optical Power Meter, VFL, and Cable Length Tester
Portable instrument combining optical power measurement, a 650 nm VFL, and Ethernet continuity, wire-map, length, and break testing.

The product image illustrates the series form factor. The actual panel layout and interfaces depend on the specific model.
Product Overview
The SML-MPSL6 combines an optical power meter, a 650 nm visual fault locator, and full Ethernet cable testing. The optical power meter supports six standard wavelengths, linear/logarithmic/relative displays, and storage for up to 255 records. The VFL provides continuous and flashing output for fiber identification and visible-fault assistance.
Ethernet functions cover continuity, wire mapping, length, and break testing in M-R two-ended and Open single-ended modes. After calibration with a known cable made of the same material, the instrument measures up to 1200 m. This model does not provide Bluetooth data transfer.
Typical Applications
- Optical power measurement and target-fiber identification on fiber links
- Ethernet continuity and wire-map verification in structured cabling
- Cable length measurement and assistance with opens, shorts, and break location
- Combined fiber and copper testing at mixed-network maintenance sites
Safety and Operating Boundaries
- Never look directly into the VFL port, a connected fiber connector, or a fiber end face while the VFL is active.
- Ethernet testing supports ordinary switches and standard PoE switches, but not non-standard PoE switches.
- Recall the calibration profile matching the cable under test before measuring length.
- Charge only from a DC 5 V / 0.5 A supply.
