The technician just plugs in the fiber under test and FlowScout will automatically measure and display all wavelengths and power.
AFL says its new FlowScout PON Power Meter is the fastest and easiest way to verify all types of PON networks. The technician just plugs in the fiber under test and FlowScout will automatically measure and display all wavelengths and power - just plug in the fiber and you're done, according to the company.

Judge’s comment: “Not just another tester! It's a "plug and play" tester! This should help speed up the testing process and eliminate a lot of confusion in the field."
