7 Proven Steps To Use An Otdr To Test Fiber Optic Splices

How to use an OTDR fiber optic tester to find network cables

Clean the connectors, connect a launch cable, set the correct wavelength, range, pulse width and index of refraction, run the trace, then review events such as connectors, splices, bends and fiber end. An Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) is the most powerful tool for characterizing fiber optic networks. It works like "radar for fiber optics," sending light pulses down the fiber and analyzing the reflected light to measure loss, locate faults, and verify installations. We'll give you the basic information you need and provide some printable references. It can verify splice loss, measure length and find faults. From connecting the fiber to setting essential parameters, we demonstrate how to use OTDR efficiently to identify faults, measure fiber length, and analyze. How to perform an OTDR test procedure correctly: 1. Clean Connectors: Inspect and clean all bulkheads and patch cords using professional fiber wipes. Deploy Launch Fiber: Connect an unconditional launch cable (>500m) to eliminate the initial dead zone.
