What Network Owners and Operators Need to Know About Fiber Testing
Certification of an FTTH network confirms proper installation before customers start using it. That means fewer service problems and easier routes to modifications. It also gives comfort to those who financed the build. Fiber test equipment makes testing and certification easy – often easier than for copper wiring. Network testing and certification should be part […]
Wofür wird ein OTDR benötigt?
Was ist ein OTDR? Ein OTDR ist ein Glasfasertester zur Charakterisierung von optischen Netzwerken, die Telekommunikationsanwendungen unterstützen. Die Aufgabe des OTDRs besteht darin, Netzelemente an beliebigen Positionen einer Glasfaserstrecke zu erkennen, zu lokalisieren und zu messen. Hierfür muss das OTDR nur an einem Ende der Strecke angeschlossen sein, da es wie ein eindimensionales Radarsystem funktioniert. […]
Reflectance and Dead zone
Reflectance and dead zone OTDR, short for optical time-domain reflectometer, is an opto-electronic equipment used to characterize fiber optic link. OTDR reflectance and dead zone is the two key factors. This white article is for explain it, and help operators, engineers, service providers etc. know the importance of it and how to choose the right […]
Fiber Optic Cable Network Field Testing Overview
In order to test the performance of a Fibre system several key measurements need to be carried out, these can include some or all of the following: l End-to-end optical link loss l Rate of attenuation per unit length l Attenuation contribution of splices, connectors and couplers l Length of the fibre or distance to […]
EXFO OTDR Maintenance
OTDR connector cleaning, recalibrating To help ensure exfo OTDR long, trouble-free operation: Always inspect fiber-optic connectors before using them and clean them if necessary. Keep the unit free of dust. Clean the unit casing and front panel with a cloth slightly dampened with water. Store unit at room temperature in a clean and dry area. […]
