Certification Information
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and
Industry Canada Information
Electronic test and measurement equipment is exempt from FCC part 15,
subpart B compliance in the United States of America and from ICES-003
compliance in Canada. However, EXFO Inc. makes reasonable efforts to
ensure compliance to the applicable standards.
The limits set by these standards are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in
a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the user guide, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely
to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at his own expense.
Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
Information
Electronic test equipment is subject to the EMC Directive in the European
Union. The IEC 61326-1 standard prescribes both emission and immunity
requirements for laboratory, measurement, and control equipment.
This unit has undergone extensive testing according to the European Union
Directive and Standards.

CWDM Analyzer 1
1 Introducing the FOT-5200
CWDM Analyzer
The FOT-5200 CWDM Analyzer is designed to measure and mark
wavelengths in order to measure the exact power independently for each
coarse wavelength division multilplexing (CWDM) channel. This
instrument is portable and made to be appropriate to the outside
environment.
When using a broadband powermeter, only the total optical power of the
combined CWDM channels can be measured. When several wavelengths
are sent at once, the exact value of each wavelength cannot be measured.
Thus for CWDM, which functions over several wavelengths, a device that
can distinguish the wavelengths must be used.
The FOT-5200 is developed to measure exact power and is adaptable to
the various network conditions. It is especially suitable for outer
environments and is compact, therefore easy to carry.

Main Functions
The picture below shows the display screen when measuring a single
channel.
Main Functions
Simultaneous measurement of optical power in all channels in a single
scan, which is the key factor in the field of installation, maintenance
and repair.
Works as a broadband power meter and as a loss meter.
It is compact in size and lightweight for excellent portability.
Can use the existing charger and USB Data Communication Cable by
using a typical cell phone 24-pin connector
