Page 21: Connecting The Fiber
Connecting the Fiber Before connect fiber to OTDR module, clean fiber end first The dust which on the end of connector may damage the optical port or reduce test quality. 1. Put connector against the cleaner. 2. Press the handle of cleaner. 3. -
Page 22: Introduction Of Otdr
Introduction of OTDR Purpose of Measurement OTDR shows the back-scatter light power of the optical signal relative to the distance. With this information, the OTDR could measure a series of important information of an optical fiber such as the quality of the line, distance of the line and etc. - Page 23 A normal trace shows as above, the A mark is a start-peak and the B mark is an end-reflection-peak. The tested trace is oblique, the total loss will become bigger with the increasing of the fiber length. The total loss (dB) divides total length is the average loss (dB/km) of a fiber.
- Page 24 If the tested trace is just like the figure shows above, this might be caused by several reasons like: a bad connection between the connector and the lunching port, the optical pulse cannot be launched into the optical fiber or a short distance broken point of the tested fiber from the initial connection and the preset testing distance and pulse width is larger.
- Page 25 Abnormal Condition The situation that there is no reflection peak at the end of a trace shows above should be paid attention on. If the distance of the tested fiber is available and the distance shown on OTDR is not equal to the original distance, this shows that the fiber might be broken down or twisted and the bending radius of it is over limited.

Page 26: Fundamental Of Otdr
Fundamental of OTDR OTDR——Optical Time Domain Reflector is a high precision optical testing meter that use the theory of Rayleigh scattering and Fresnel reflection. It is widely used in the maintenance, construction and monitoring of an optical line. All the important parameters like fiber length, optical loss, connection loss, broken or twisted point and etc. - Page 27 Event Type Types of event The events on trace are all the points that the value of power loss fluctuates abnormally. It usually contains various types of connection and bending, crack, broken and etc. The event points marked on trace with special marks are the abnormal points in a fiber that cause the excursion of a normal trace.
