IDK what you mean by PON features unless you want an inline unit to watch

We bought the one (or one like) Cassidy linked and then bought this second:

Cassidy - get a super cheap/fast PON meter that just reads the light from
the OLT rather than waiting for the OTDR to boot.  Or just clamp and see if
there is light -
