As we all know that networking systems may meet some minor or major problems in operation, then in this important moment, time really means a lot. Here, OTDR is just suitable for you, a kind of optical product deployed to quickly determine wavelength and loss characteristics. You may ask questions: What is OTDR? Where is […]
Fiber Testers & Tools
Fiber Optic Cleaning and Inspection of Connectors & Adapters
Fiber optic cleaning is critical to the performance of optical communication networks. Contamination on a connector end face, even if only at the microscopic level, can create severe problems. Traditional single mode fiber optic core diameters are approximately 9 microns. By comparison, a human hair is 50 microns or larger in diameter. Contamination that blocks the […]
Three Testing Tools Introduction in Fiber Optic Test Networks
This article I will introduce three tools in the standards for testing installed fiber. A visible light source or visual fault locator (VFL), an optical loss test set (OLTS), and the optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR). Visible Light Source Visible Light Source include incandescent lights and LED and laser light sources. Anything from a flashlight […]
What is OTDR?
Recently many people asked me what is OTDR on my Facebook. Today this article will give you a detailed introduction of OTDR. What is OTDR? An optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) is an optoelectronic instrument used to characterize an optical fiber. An OTDR is the optical equivalent of an electronic domain reflectometer. It injects a series […]
What Is OTDR and How Does It Work?
What Is OTDR? OTDR, short for optical time-domain reflectometer, is an optoelectronic instrument used to characterize an optical fiber. It can be considered as the optical equivalent of an electronic time-domain reflectometer. OTDR injects a series of optical pulses into the fiber under test. It also extracts, from the same end of the fiber,light that […]
Using An OTDR To Be An Expert In Fiber Link Testing
When talking about optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR), you might see it as complicated and dear. In actual fact, you could think like this for example it is similar to the copper tester and it is a chance to grow my business. Fiber link testing may be new to some contractors, but the right equipment could […]
