How to interpret the OPM value on an optical power meter

Readings are in decibel-milliwatts (dBm), higher means stronger light, lower or negative means weaker like for example, -10 dBm is usually good while -25 dBm could show a bad connection or damaged fiber. The OPM measures optical power, which is the strength of light in a fiber like a flashlight, dim light can signal a problem. An OPM uses a photodiode to generate an electrical current proportional to optical power.
