Introduction An Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) is a valuable fiber optic testing device used for accessing network construction, identifying fiber break
Fundamentals of an OTDR
Rayleigh backscattering is used to calculate the level of attenuation in the fiber as a function of distance (expressed in dB/km), which is shown by a straight slope in an OTDR trace. This phenomenon
VHO-OTDR
Unlike sources and power meters which measure the loss of the fiber optic cable plant directly, the OTDR works indirectly. It uses backscattered light of the fiber to imply loss (remember that scattering
