OTDR Optical Time Domain Reflectometer Optical Fiber Maintenance Tool

Summary

OTDR is an instrument to understand the uniformity, defect, fracture, joint coupling and other properties of optical fiber through the analysis of the measuring curve. It is used to measure the attenuation of optical fiber, attenuation of connector and fault locator, and view the loss distribution along the length of optical fiber, it is an essential tool in the construction, maintenance and monitoring of optical fiber.

Warning

• When using OTDR to measure optical fiber, except 1610nm wavelength product, working light in the measured optical fiber couldn’t exist. Otherwise, the measuring result won’t be accurate, and the instrument may be damaged perpetually.
• Don't look at the optical interface directly or look over the optical interface through optical instrument.
• When the OTDR is working, do not look at the laser outlet directly;
• After using, cover the dust cap onto the optical outlet of the OTDR
• Don't directly look at the disconnected terminal of the being tested optical fiber. If possible, make the disconnected terminal of fiber optical point to a non-reflective object.

Fiber connection

Connect the fiber to the top optical interface of OTDR. It adopts FC-PC optical connector.

Notice: When using OTDR to measure optical fiber, working light in the measured optical fiber couldn’t exist. Or the instrument will be damaged.

Auto OTDR test

Auto OTDR by default, click “OTDR test” or select wavelength, Pulse width and measurement duration in the “Quick Setup” to start testing. Another parameters setting as below:
